    Abstract: An automatic model reconstruction method and an automatic model reconstruction system for a component recognition model are provided. The automatic model reconstruction method includes the following steps. A first component image of a plurality of circuit boards is sequentially captured at a first position. The component recognition model sequentially recognizes component categories of the first component images, and a number of recognition probability values are output. According to the recognition probability values, a number of exponentially weighted moving averages (EWMA) are obtained. The first component images corresponding to the exponentially weighted moving averages lower than a first set value are collected until one of the exponentially weighted moving averages is lower than or equal to a second set value. The collected first component images are regarded as abnormal component images. The component recognition model is reconstructed according to the abnormal component images.
