Abstract: This disclosure relates to method and system for inspection of rotational components based on video frames of the rotational components in motion. Based on the property of projective single axis motion, motion trajectories of defects on the rotational components are modeled in a conic pattern. The defects are clustered according to their spatial information around a rotation axis of the rotational components to ascertain distinct defects. Undetected defects may be recovered by rotating their previous locations along their trajectory conics by a predetermined rotation angle. Based on the distinct defects, including the recovered defect, a modified video frame which includes an identification of the distinct defects, including the recovered defect, may be generated.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to method and system for inspection of rotational components based on video frames having different camera views of defects on rotational components. Using optical flow to ascertain motion vectors of pixels of the video frames, the video frames are partitioned based on motion vectors. The partitioned regions are paired with corresponding regions in a subsequent video frame, and their features are matched. For video frames having at least camera motion, a transformation matrix is ascertained which is applied to map defect trajectories of each camera view to a subsequent camera view.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide various apparatuses and techniques to efficiently mitigate front-of-screen (FoS) artifacts that may occur due to voltage fluctuations due to alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) mechanisms that may occur in a variety of pixel types. In one embodiment, emission profile awareness circuitry may be implemented to mitigate for FoS artifacts due to DC mechanisms. Two-dimensional (2D) digital compensation circuitry may address the DC portion of the voltage fluctuations by accounting for an emission profile applied to content displayed on an electronic display. In some embodiments, the 2D digital compensation circuitry may compensate for the AC portion of the voltage fluctuations by duplicating the AC voltage fluctuations via voltage error subtraction circuitry and voltage error accumulation circuitry.
