  • Publication number: 20220292317
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a defect classification apparatus includes a processor. The processor acquires a first design image which is an image based on design data created by design software and relates to a first inspection target, and acquires a first real image which is captured by imaging the first inspection target produced based on the design data. The processor converts the first design image to a reference image represented by using a second real image captured by imaging a second inspection target without a defect. The processor calculates a reliability of the reference image. The processor detects a defect in the first inspection target by comparing the reference image and the first real image and classifies the defect, based on the reliability.
