  • Publication number: 20220207867
    Abstract: In a method for defecting surface defects, a trained weighting generated when defect-free training samples are used to train an autoencoder and pixel convolutional neural network is obtained. A test encoding feature is obtained by inputting the trained weighting into the autoencoder and pixel convolutional neural network and a weighted autoencoder of the weighted autoencoder and pixel convolutional neural network encoding a test sample. The test encoding feature is input into a weighted pixel convolution neural network of the weighted autoencoder and pixel convolutional neural network to output a result of test. The test result is either no defect in the test sample or at least one defect in the test sample. Inaccurate determinations as to defects are thereby avoided. An electronic device and a non-transitory storage medium are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20220207695
    Abstract: In a method for defecting surface defects, a weighting generated when defect-free training samples are used to train an autoencoder and pixel convolutional neural network is obtained. A test encoding feature is obtained by inputting the weighting into the autoencoder and pixel convolutional neural network and encoding a test sample with a weighted autoencoder of the weighted autoencoder and pixel convolutional neural network. The test encoding feature is divided into many sub-test encoding features. The sub-test encoding features are input into a weighted pixel convolution neural network of the weighted autoencoder and pixel convolutional neural network one by one to output a result of test, the test result being either no defect in the test sample or at least one defect in the test sample. Inaccurate defect determinations are avoided, and accurate determinations even of fine defects improved. An electronic device and a non-transitory storage medium are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20220207707
    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.

  • Publication number: 20220207669
    Abstract: In an image correction method, a distorted image and a standard image corresponding to the distorted image are obtained. The distorted image is divided into first image regions, the standard image into second image regions. For each first image region and corresponding second image region, first and second points respectively are selected. A relationship between the first image region and the second image region is determined according to differences between the first points and the second points. The first image region is corrected according to the relationship between the first image region and the second image region and corrected first image regions are stitched to obtain a corrected image of the distorted image. The image correction method improves the accuracy of image correction.

    Abstract: A method for detecting data defects and a computing device applying the method obtains a test image for analysis. A field to which the test image relates is determined. Based on the field, a target convolutional layer is determined from a convolutional neural network. The target convolutional layer is used to extract features of the test image. A target score of the test image and a score threshold corresponding to the field are determined. If the target score is less than the score threshold, it is determined that the test image reveals defects, thereby improving an accuracy of defect detection.

    Abstract: A flyback power converter includes: a power transformer, a primary side control circuit, a secondary side control circuit, and an active clamp snubber including a snubber switch and a control signal generation circuit. The control signal generation circuit controls the snubber switch to be conductive during a soft switching period in an OFF period of a primary side switch within a switching period of the switching signal, whereby the primary side switch achieves soft switching. A starting time point of the soft switching period is determined by a current threshold, so that a secondary side current is not lower than the current threshold at the starting time point, whereby the secondary side control circuit keeps the SR switch conductive at the starting time point. The secondary side control circuit turns OFF the SR switch when the secondary side current is lower than the current threshold.
