  • Patent number: 12293502
    Abstract: A method for detecting defects in products from images thereof and an electronic device applying the method inputs a defect image repair data set into an autoencoder to train the autoencoder, and generates a reconstructed image, calculates a reference error value between the sample image and the reconstructed image by a preset error function, and set a threshold value based on the reference error value. The electronic device inputs an image possibly revealing a defect into the autoencoder and generates the reconstructed image corresponding to the image to be detected, and uses the preset error function to calculate the reconstruction error between the image and the reconstructed image, thereby determining whether the image being analyzed does reveal defects. When the reconstruction error is greater than the threshold value, a determination is made that a defect is revealed.

  • Publication number: 20250113384
    Abstract: A method performed by a User Equipment (UE) for a Layer1/Layer2 Triggered Mobility (LTM) operation is provided. The method receives, from a source cell, an LTM cell switch command Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) including a Timing Advance Command (TAC) field. The method switches from the source cell to a target cell in response to receiving the LTM cell switch command MAC CE. In a case that the TAC field is set to an invalid value, the method performs a Random Access (RA) procedure with the target cell upon switching to the target cell, where a type of the RA procedure depends on whether the LTM cell switch command MAC CE further includes a Contention-Free Random Access (CFRA)-related field. In a case that the TAC field is set to a valid value, the method skips the RA procedure with the target cell upon switching to the target cell.

    Abstract: A method for detecting defects in images, is employed in a computer device, and stored in a storage medium. The method trains an autoencoder model using unblemished images, inputting an image to be detected into the autoencoder model, and obtaining a reconstructed image. An image error is calculated between the image to be detected and the reconstructed image, and the image error is inputted into a student's t-distribution and a calculation result is obtained. In response that the calculation result falls within a preset defect determination criterion range, the image to be detected is determined to be an unblemished image. In response that the calculation result does not fall within the preset defect determination criterion range, the image to be detected is determined to be a defective image.
