  • Publication number: 20220398716
    Abstract: A method of detecting product defects obtains an image of a product and sets a region of interest (ROI) of the image. A first contour of a first target object is detected in the region of interest. The image is detected according to the first contour to obtain a corrected image. A position difference between the first contour and a second target object in the region of interest is obtained. A second contour of the second target object is detected in the corrected image according to the position difference. A first image area corresponding to the first contour and a second image area corresponding to the second contour are segmented and input into an autoencoder. According to outputs of the autoencoder, whether the product is defective is determined. A detection result of the product is output. The method can detect defects on products quickly and accurately.
