Abstract: A method of inspecting a component using an image inspection controller that includes a processor communicatively coupled to a memory includes classifying each sample image in a first database as a first sample or a second sample using a classification module, extracting at least one class generic feature from each first sample to generate a plurality of class generic features, and extracting at least one class specific feature from each second sample to generate a plurality of class specific features. The method further includes combining the class generic features and the class specific features to generate a plurality of supplemental images. The method further includes storing the sample images and the supplemental images in a second database, classifying each sample image and each supplemental image, capturing at least one image of the component using a camera, and identifying at least one feature of the component in the at least one image of the component using the classification module.

Abstract: A handheld stabilizer comprises a handle provided with a handheld portion and a connecting portion. The stabilizer includes a ball head mechanism mounted between the connecting portion and a photographing device and adapted for adjusting the position of the photographing device. A control mechanism is adapted for controlling the motion of the ball head mechanism after receiving a location signal from the photographing device indicating that one or more human faces are not centered within a predefined location range in a screen of the photographing device. The control mechanism adjusts the position of the photographing device causing the one or more human faces to be centered within the predefined location range in the screen of the photographing device, so that a photographing function that tracks human faces is realized.
