A defect inspecting system includes a detector configured to image a sample and a host control device that acquires an inspection image including a defect and a plurality of reference images not including a defect site and generates a pseudo defect image by editing a predetermined reference image among the plurality of acquired reference images. An initial parameter is determined with which the pseudo defect site is detectable from the pseudo defect image. The host control device acquires a defect candidate site from the inspection image using the initial parameter, estimates a high-quality image from an image of a site corresponding to the defect candidate site using the parameter acquired in image quality enhancement, and specifies an actual defect site in the inspection image by executing defect discrimination. A parameter is determined with which a site close to the specified actual defect site is detectable using the inspection image.

An information processing device according to the present invention includes: a memory; and at least one processor coupled to the memory. The processor performs operations. The operations includes: selecting a base image from a base data set that is a set of images including a target region that includes an object that is a target of machine learning and a background region that does not include an object that is a target of the machine learning; generating a processing target image that is a duplicate of the selected base image; selecting the target region included in another image included in the base data set; synthesizing an image of the selected target region with the processing target image; and generating a data set that is a set of the processing target images in which a predetermined number of the target regions are synthesized.

The present disclosure relates to neural network optimization methods and apparatuses in the field of artificial intelligence. One example method includes sampling preset hyperparameter search space to obtain multiple hyperparameter combinations. Multiple iterative evaluations are performed on the multiple hyperparameter combinations to obtain multiple performance results of each hyperparameter combination. Any iterative evaluation comprises obtaining at least one performance result of each hyperparameter combination, and if a hyperparameter combination meets a first preset condition, re-evaluating the hyperparameter combination to obtain a re-evaluated performance result of the hyperparameter combination. An optimal hyperparameter combination is determined. If the optimal hyperparameter combination does not meet a second preset condition, a preset model is updated, based on the multiple performance results of each hyperparameter combination, for next sampling. Or if the optimal hyperparameter combination meets a second preset condition, the optimal hyperparameter combination is used as a hyperparameter combination of a neural network.

Accurate tissue segmentation is performed without a priori knowledge of tissue type or other extrinsic information not found within the subject image, and may be combined with classification analysis so that diseased tissue is not only delineated within an image but also characterized in terms of disease type. In various embodiments, a source image is decomposed into smaller overlapping subimages such as square or rectangular tiles. A predictor such as a convolutional neural network produces tile-level classifications that are aggregated to produce a tissue segmentation and, in some embodiments, to classify the source image or a subregion thereof.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for monitoring events using a Virtual Inductive Loop system. In some implementations, image data is obtained from cameras. A region depicted in the obtained image data is identified, the region comprising lines spaced by a distance that satisfies a distance threshold. For each line included in the region: an object depicted crossing the line is determined whether to satisfy a height criteria indicating that the line is activated. In response to determining that an object depicted crossing the line satisfies the height criteria, an event is determined to have likely occurred using data indicating (i) which lines of the lines were activated and (ii) an order in which each of the lines were activated. In response to determining that an event likely occurred, actions are performed using at least some of the data.
