Chip image optimization: The image optimization module repairs image defects, makes the chip's detailed features more obvious, and ensures that the image has a good display effect on all devices; S3. Detect chip characteristics: The data detection unit inspects the chip entering the system, observes the surface conditions, and checks for defects and abnormalities on the chip surface; S4. Chip packaging: The automatic packaging unit uses an automatic packaging machine to weld, bond and package the chips and packaging materials transferred by the robot.

7. The method for using the IC chip automatic packaging inspection system according to claim 6, characterized in that: The method of use also includes the following steps: S21, after feature extraction, the image detection unit predicts each area of ​​the detection image and determines the target chip to be detected in the area and the location information of the chip; S31. The early warning unit collects and analyzes monitoring data. If the chip data does not meet the requirements, the early warning device flashes a red light.
