  • Patent number: 11978189
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a defect detection method and apparatus. The method includes: obtaining an image for inspection; performing anomaly detection on the image for inspection to obtain an anomaly region image corresponding to the image for inspection; and performing defect classification on the anomaly region image to obtain defect detection information of the image for inspection. The defect detection method of the embodiments of this application is divided into two steps of anomaly detection and defect classification. Anomaly detection is performed on the image for inspection first, and then defect classification needs to be performed only on an anomaly region, reducing the workload of defect classification, thereby improving the efficiency of defect detection.

  • Patent number: 11948287
    Abstract: The present application relates to an image processing method and system. The method may include: acquiring a sequence of input images containing a target object; and performing multi-resolution fusion on the sequence of input images to generate a single fused image, where pixels of the fused image may include a pixel at a corresponding position of an input image in the sequence of input images, and each pixel of the fused image containing the target object may include a pixel at a corresponding position of an input image in the sequence of input images in which part of the target object is focused.

  • Publication number: 20240095902
    Abstract: A tab bending detection method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: performing skeleton extraction on a sectional image of multiple layers of tabs to obtain a skeleton image of the multiple layers of tabs; merging damaged connected components in the skeleton image to obtain a merged connected component, where the damaged connected components are connected components on which breaking occurs in a same tab section; calculating a target number of the multiple layers of tabs based on the merged connected component and an undamaged connected component; and detecting, based on the target number and a preset number, whether any tab in the multiple layers of tabs is in a bending state. The damaged connected components are merged to obtain the merged connected component.

  • Publication number: 20230419472
    Abstract: A defect detection method includes: obtaining an average grayscale value of an image; constructing a mapping table, where elements of the mapping table include a mapped value corresponding to each grayscale value within a grayscale value range of the image, a mapped value corresponding to a grayscale value greater than or equal to a reference value is a first value, a mapped value corresponding to a grayscale value less than the reference value is a second value, and the reference value is an absolute value of a difference between the average grayscale value and a preset grayscale value; searching for a mapped value corresponding to a grayscale value of each pixel in the image from the mapping table; segmenting the image to obtain a suspicious defect sub-image based on the mapped value corresponding to the grayscale value of each pixel; and inputting the suspicious defect sub-image into a machine learning model.
