Object defect detection

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to object defect detection. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method is disclosed. According to the method, for a test image of at least one part of a target object, a reference image is generated by repeating a periodic pattern detected in the test image, the target object consisting of elements. A differential image is determined by comparing the test image and the reference image. The differential image is superimposed on a predefined grid image to obtain a superimposed image. The grid image comprises grids corresponding to elements of a reference object associated with the target object. The number of defective elements is determined in the at least one part of the target object based on the superimposed image. In other embodiments, a system and a computer program product are disclosed.
