  • Patent number: 12118808
    Abstract: An image generation method obtains an original image. A character area, a background area, and a position of each flawless character in the original image are determined. The character area is segmented to obtain a first image of each flawless character. A background is removed from the first image to obtain a second image. First image processing is performed on the second image to obtain a third image. Second image processing is performed on the second image to obtain fourth images. Third image processing is performed on the fourth images respectively to obtain fifth images. A similarity between each fifth image and the third image is calculated. When the similarity is greater than a defect threshold, a background image is segmented. Brightness of the background image is adjusted. The target fourth image and adjusted background image are synthesized. The method can generate images with defective characters quickly.

  • Publication number: 20230316497
    Abstract: A method for detecting apparent defects in images of products acquires an original image of the product. Defects apparent in the original image are automatically detected by an automatic optical detection apparatus. When the original image comprises at least one apparent defect, the original image is cut into at least one partial image centered on the at least one apparent defect. Each partial image contains one defect. By determining whether the at least one partial image indicates a real defect or a false or ghost defect, a result of desired image (for further analysis), or undesired image (for discarding) is output. The original image is deemed a desired image or an undesired image based on the result. A defect detection system applying the method is also disclosed.
