Provided are a damage diagram creation method, a damage diagram creation device, a damage diagram creation system, and a recording medium capable of detecting damage with high accuracy based on a plurality of images acquired by subjecting a subject to split imaging.

In a damage diagram creation method, damage of a subject is detected from each image (each image in a state of being not composed) constituting a plurality of images (a plurality of images acquired by subjecting the subject to split imaging), and thus, damage detection performance is not deteriorated due to deterioration of image quality in an overlapping area. Therefore, it is possible to detect damage with high accuracy based on a plurality of images acquired by subjecting the subject to split imaging. Detection results for the respective images can be composed using a composition parameter calculated based on correspondence points between the images.

A tool state learning device has a storage unit for storing an arbitrary image captured by an imaging device imaging a machined surface of an arbitrary workpiece cut using an arbitrary tool, and a teacher data acquisition unit for acquiring, as input data, an arbitrary image stored in the storage unit, and acquiring, as a label, the state of the tool annotated according to prescribed levels indicating the degree of wear of the tool on the basis of the arbitrary image. The tool state learning device also has a tool state learning unit for using the acquired label and input data to perform supervised learning, and generating a learned model in which a machined surface image of the machined surface of a workpiece imaged by the imaging device is inputted and the state of the tool that cut the machined surface of the workpiece is outputted.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recording an image processing program that causes a computer to execute processing of: specifying a damaged portion by analyzing a captured image of a construction; and predicting, in the captured image, a range to which damage spreads based on the specified damaged portion and design data associated with the construction.

In an inspection method and apparatus, when thermal image data with respect to cap sealing of a particular container is analyzed and a low confidence score is obtained, products are classified into a user check product by a rejection-process of separating the products, without determining the products to be good products or not good products.

The disclosure provides an inspection method determining whether there is a defect in an electrode structural body including a cathode electrode layer, an electrolyte layer and an anode electrode layer electrode by an image processor. The inspection method includes a step of scanning the electrode structural body along a scanning direction to obtain a continuous transmission image, a step of digitizing a shade of each pixel of the transmission image, a step of calculating a difference value between a grayscale of a specific pixel and a median value of grayscales of comparison pixels located in front or rear of the specific pixel along the scanning direction, and a step of determining presence or absence of the defect according to the difference value and a predetermined threshold value.

A method identifies an article by associating an image of the article with stored article data. The method includes: A) creating the image of the article; B) extracting image features from the image; and C) extracting article features from the stored article data. The method step C) are configured to be carried out before, during, or after method steps A) and B). The following method steps are then carried out: D) comparing the image features to the article features; E) output of association information of the image with the stored article data.

To improve a determination accuracy when determining each particle contained in an image of an object. An image analysis apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a shape determination unit configured to determine a shape of a particle included in a particle image that is extracted from an image of an object, so that an OK particle image which is a particle image of an OK particle that satisfies a predetermined standard for shape and a provisional NG particle image which is a particle image of a provisional NG particle that does not satisfy the predetermined standard, are obtained; a pseudo image generation unit configured to generate a pseudo image; and a similarity determination unit configured to determine whether the provisional NG image and the pseudo image are similar.

A motor controlling system is disclosed. The motor controlling system is integrated in an apparatus having roll-to-roll mechanism, and comprises a linear light source, N number of cameras and a modular electronic device. When a roll of continuous web material is discharged by an unwinding unit of the roll-to-roll mechanism so as to be further transferred to an inspection unit, the cameras are controlled by the modular electronic device to capture a plurality of time-consecutive material image frames. Subsequently, the modular electronic device conducts a defection inspection for a segment of the continuous web material by applying an image process to the material image frames. As a result, in case of there being at least one defect found, the modular electronic device stops a plurality of motors of the apparatus from running, thereby making the segment of the continuous web material be positioned on an inspection platform.

According to one embodiment, an inspection system for a secondary battery includes an image sensor, a detector, and an inspection processor. The image sensor captures an image of a fiber layer of an electrode structure of a secondary battery. The electrode structure includes an electrode and the fiber layer formed on a surface of the electrode. The electrode includes a current collector and an active material layer. The detector detects a color in data of the image captured with the image sensor. The inspection processor inspects a pinhole defect in the fiber layer based on the color detected with the detector.

There is disclosed a system for automatically detecting an irregularity on a pipe. The system includes a camera arranged at an external surface of the pipe, the camera being configured to capture a Red, Green and Blue (RBG) image of a region of a pipe. One or more hardware processors are in communication with the camera and are configured to: convert the RGB image to a modified image; split the modified image into a plurality of components; generate a binary image via performing a thresholding operation which utilizes the plurality of components; and detect the irregularity on the pipe via performing a feature extraction process on the binary image. Also disclosed and described is a related method.
