Abstract:
Systems and methods relating to image processing and artificial intelligence. Given a small number of defect images, a multitude of other defect images can be generated to serve as training data sets for training artificially intelligent systems to recognize and detect similar defects. Given original images showing defects, a clean image of the background of the original images is created. The defect image is then isolated from each of the original images. The characteristics of each defect image are determined and characteristics of similar defects are also determined, either from other images or from subject matter experts. Based on these characteristics of similar defects, multiple other defect images are then generated. The generated defect images are combined with the clean image to result in defect images with a suitable background. Each of the resulting images can be used in training systems in recognizing and detecting defects.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of generating additional digital image data sets from at least one original digital image of a manufacturing defect, the method comprising:\n a) extracting a section of a background of said at least one original image, said section of a background not including any pixels showing said manufacturing defect; b) creating a clean image from said section extracted in step a); c) extracting at least one defect section from said at least one original image, said defect section including only pixels showing said manufacturing defect; d) determining characteristics of said manufacturing defect shown in said defect section; e) generating other defect sections showing other possible manufacturing defects based on said characteristics determined in step d) and possible characteristics of other manufacturing defects similar to said manufacturing defect shown in said at least one original defect; and f) combining said other defect sections with said clean image to result in multiple images of possible manufacturing defects.
