  • Publication number: 20210302224
    Abstract: A method and a system for vision-based defect detection are proposed. The method includes the following steps. A test audio signal is outputted to a device-under-test (DUT), and a response signal of the DUT with respect to the test audio signal is received to generate a received audio signal. Signal processing is performed on the received audio signal to generate a spectrogram, and whether the DUT has an unacceptable defect with respect to the predefined auditory standard is determined by analyzing a distribution of signal strength according to the spectrogram.
