Optimizing defect detection in an automatic visual inspection process

摘要

In embodiments of the invention an outline defining a region of interest (ROI) on or within a first object imaged on an inspection line, is initially created based on user input. The outline defining an ROI may then be visibly presented to a user in a following, second image of an additional same-type object, enabling the user to either confirm or easily correct the region of interest if necessary. The confirmed or corrected outline may then be automatically applied to all images of inspected objects of the same type.
