  • Methods and systems for inspecting components
    Patent number: 12450885
    Abstract: A method includes training a model to identify anomalous portions of a test component using training images and labels that indicate anomalous portions of training components within the training images. The method also includes compressing a source image of the test component to generate a first input image having a first resolution and making a first determination of whether the first input image indicates that the test component is anomalous. The method also includes making a second determination, for each section of a second input image, of whether the section indicates that the test component is anomalous. The second input image has a second resolution that is greater than the first resolution. The method also includes providing an indication of whether the first input image indicates that the test component is anomalous and providing an indication of whether the second input image indicates that the test component is anomalous.
