Patent number: 7593596Abstract: A candidate pixel generating unit searches a path-undetermined adjacent pixel j which is adjacent around a parent pixel i, and, with respect to the searched adjacent pixel j, generates a candidate pixel having data {j(i,|Wij|)} in which the parent pixel i and magnitude |Wij| of a phase difference Wij in which phase skip between the pixels is corrected are combined. The registration control unit registers the pixel to a heap having a function of ordering the registration order, and order the pixel, if the weight |Wij| is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value TH; and registers the pixel to a queue not having the function of ordering the registration order if it is less than the threshold value TH. A path determination unit prioritizes the queue to retrieve and eliminate one candidate pixel, and determines a path between the eliminated candidate pixel and the parent pixel.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2006Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Fumiyuki Takahashi, Hiroyuki Tsukahara

Patent number: 6104493Abstract: The bump height is measure din a sample area on a wafer, the bump height distribution on the wafer is estimated on the bases of the measured value, the portion where the estimated height distribution is out of a predetermined range is determined as an inspection area, and the bump height is measured in the inspection area, and a chip area having a bump height out of a predetermined range is judged to be defective. Data of the inspection areas and inspection results are accumulated, and the inspection density is renewed on the basis of the accumulated data. In another method, the inspection area is divided into rectangular blocks so that each block has a width of approximately equal to a light beam scanning length and a distance between any adjacent bumps in the feeding direction is less than a predetermined value, feeding path being perpendicular to the scanning direction.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 1999Date of Patent: August 15, 2000Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Takashi Fuse, Youji Nishiyama, Yoshitaka Oshima, Fumiyuki Takahashi, Hiroyuki Tsukahara

Patent number: 4805224Abstract: Disclosed is a pattern matching method and apparatus, in which an object pattern is collated with a master pattern using pattern matching. As a first step, an area corresponding to a master pattern size is sequentially extracted from a master sample image for forming the master pattern, each extracted pattern is collated and the other patterns in the master sample image. An extracted pattern which has a minimum similarity to all the other patterns, and, as a result, shows the most distinctive pattern, is used for the master pattern. Using the present method and apparatus, pattern matching having a higher recognition rate can be performed. Further, using the present pattern matching method, an apparatus can be obtained for positioning the object to be recognized with a highest positioning accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 1987Date of Patent: February 14, 1989Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Tetsuo Koezuka, Hiroyuki Tsukahara, Masato Nakashima
