  • Publication number: 20230222645
    Abstract: An inspection apparatus according to one or more embodiments extracts an attention area from a target image using a first estimation model, performs a computational process with a second estimation model using the extracted attention area, and determines whether a target product has a defect based on a computational result from the second estimation model. The first estimation model is generated based on multiple first training images of defect-free products in a target environment. The second estimation model is generated based on multiple second training images of defects. The computational process with the second estimation model includes generating multiple feature maps with different dimensions by projecting the target image into different spaces with lower dimensions. The extracted attention area is integrated into at least one of the multiple feature maps in the computational process with the second estimation model.

  • Publication number: 20230036611
    Abstract: A gaze estimation apparatus according to one or more embodiments may estimate the gaze direction of a target person using calibration information including feature information about the gaze of the eyes of the target person looking in a predetermined direction and true value information indicating the true value for the predetermined direction, in addition to a target image including the eye(s) of the target person. The gaze estimation apparatus may thus estimate the gaze direction of the target person reflecting individual differences, and may allow estimation of the gaze direction of the target person with higher accuracy.
