A processor of the inspection support device acquires an image obtained by imaging a structure to be inspected and detects damage to the structure on the basis of the acquired image. In a case where two or more types of damage (cracking B and linear free lime C.sub.2) to the structure are detected, the processor determines whether or not two or more types of damage are detected from the same or adjacent positions. In a case where determination is made that the cracking B and the linear free lime C.sub.2 are detected from the same or adjacent positions when the processor outputs the damage detection result (a damage image, a damage diagram, and the like), the processor preferentially outputs a damage detection result of the linear free lime C.sub.2 in accordance with a priority of a damage type (FIG. 16A and FIG. 16B).

Systems and methods for determining a diagnosis of a screening system are disclosed. Such systems and methods include identifying defect results based on inline characterization tool data, identifying electrical test results based on electrical test data, generating one or more correlation metrics based on the defect results and the electrical test results, and determining at least one diagnosis of the screening system based on the one or more correlation metrics, the diagnosis corresponding to a performance of the screening system.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for synthesizing a diamond using a diamond synthesis machine. A processor receives a plurality of images of a diamond during synthesis within a diamond synthesis machine, each of the plurality of images captured within a time period. The processor executes a diamond state prediction machine learning model using the plurality of images to obtain a predicted data object, the predicted data object indicating a predicted state of the diamond within the diamond synthesis machine at a time subsequent to the time period. The processor detects a predicted defect, a number of defects, defect types, and/or sub-features of such defects and/or other characteristics (e.g., a predicted shape, size, and/or other properties of predicted contours for the diamond and/or pocket holder) of the predicted state of the diamond. The processor adjusts operation of the diamond synthesis machine.
