  • Image defect detection method, electronic device using the same
    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.
