ABSTRACT:
An integrated visual defect detection and classification system. The invention includes adaptive defect detection and image labeling, defect feature measures, and a knowledge based inference shell/engine for classification based on fuzzy logic. The combination of these elements comprises a method and system for providing detection and analysis of product defects in many application domains, such as semiconductor and electronic packaging manufacturing.
