At least two proposed regions from the plurality of proposed regions that deserve to be superimposed based on a set of conditions is determined. The at least two proposed regions for acquiring an enhanced defect are superimposed.

Abstract: A method, a device and a computer program product for image processing are proposed. In the method, a first training image and region information are obtained. The region information indicates a region of a defect in the first training image. A second training image with the defect at least partially removed is generated using an image generator based on the first training image and the region information. The image generator is trained to recover the first training image by replacing pixels included in the region indicated by the region information. The image generator is updated based on the second training image. In this way, the image including the defect can be accurately and efficiently recovered.

Abstract: A plurality of different images of a same region of interest in an object are input into a set of neural networks, wherein each image of the region has been captured under a different value of a variable condition. A classification for each image is generated by the set of neural networks, wherein each classification includes a confidence score in a prediction of whether a feature is present in the region. The image classifications are ensembled to generate a final classification for the region. By applying a loss function, a loss is computed based on comparing the final classification to a ground truth of whether the feature is present in the region. The parameters of the set of neural networks are adjusted based on the computed loss.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for providing improved visualization of inspection results are provided. Aspects include receiving an image from a connected camera by a computing device and processing the image by a graphics processing unit to divide the image into a plurality of image blocks. Responsive to inputting the processed image into a trained model, a plurality of image areas within the processed image is identified. Each image area is associated with an importance level and includes a unique set of image blocks. A sequence of image blocks is determined based on an importance level associated with each of the plurality of image blocks, wherein the sequence includes a list of image blocks in descending order by the importance level of each image block. The image blocks are stored in order of the sequence of image blocks by the server.

Abstract: An apparatus or a method for detecting activity quantity of an object includes a sense unit, a count unit, a trigger unit, and a radio circuit. The sense unit senses movements of the object, and generates a sensing signal based on the sensed movements. The count unit receives the sensing signal from the sense unit, counts a number of the movements from the sensing signal, and generates a movement number signal including the number of the movements. The trigger unit generates a trigger signal based on whether one or more trigger conditions are satisfied. The radio circuit is triggered in response to the trigger signal, to generate an activity quantity signal based on the movement number signal and ID information corresponding to the object.
