  • Patent number: 12169966
    Abstract: A method of optimizing the detection of abnormalities in images of products generates a first image similar to training images and a second image similar to testing images with normal images and the images showing abnormalities inputted into a generative adversarial network (GAN). The GAN determines a first similarity ratio between the first image and the training image and generates a parameter based on the first similarity ratio for adjusting the GAN. A second similarity ratio between the second image and the testing image is determined. The testing image is deemed a normal image when the second similarity ratio is larger than the specified threshold value, and deemed to be an image revealing abnormalities when the second similarity ratio is less than or equal to the specified threshold value. A terminal device and a computer readable storage medium applying the method are also provided.
