  • Publication number: 20240296655
    Abstract: A method for cluster-based and autonomous finding of reference information, the method may include obtaining a group of untagged images, each untagged image captures an instance of an item; wherein at least some of the untagged images capture different instances of the item; obtaining multiple sets of item pixels from the untagged images of the group, each set originated from an untagged image of the group and comprises multiple item pixels; determining item features of the item for each set, based on the multiple item pixels of the set and; repeating, until reaching an end condition the steps of: (a) selecting some of the sets as centroids; (b) clustering the item features of the some of the sets to provide clusters, wherein the clustering is based, at least in part, on the centroids; and (c) removing members of a cluster that has less members than another cluster; and defining untagged images that are associated with a member of any remaining cluster as reference images or as reference image candidates.

  • Publication number: 20240296540
    Abstract: A computerized method for defect detection prediction with a compact set of prediction channels, the method may include (i) obtaining a manufactured item (MI) image; (ii) generating, by a machine learning process, pixel predictions per multiple pixels of one or more feature maps related to the MI image; wherein the pixel predictions consist essentially of a probability (P) of defect, bounding height (H) and bounding box width (W); wherein the machine learning process was trained to (i) detect defects bounded by bounding boxes that have selected aspect ratios, and (ii) ignore defects bounded by bounding boxes that have non-selected aspect ratios; (iii) selecting, out of the multiple pixels, pixels based on values of at least one of the pixel predictors to provide a plurality of selected pixels; (iv) determining, based on the selected pixels, suspected defect bounding boxes; and (v) responding to the determining.

  • Publication number: 20230245292
    Abstract: There may be provided a method for defect detection, the method may include (a) receiving an image of an evaluated object; (b) applying a distortion removal machine learning process on the image to provide a processed image of the evaluated object; (c) comparing the image to the processed image to provide a comparison result; and (d) detecting one or more object defects based on the comparison result. The distortion removal machine learning process is trained by a training process to remove distortions from images of objects. The training process includes feeding the machine learning process with images of reference objects and with distorted images of the reference objects. The distorted images are generated by distorting the images of the reference.
