Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical inspection system with an automated deep learning-based image processing system. Multiple types of images (DM, TDI, AOI color) are automatically captured and processed by defect detection models trained on these image types, eliminating manual intervention while significantly improving detection efficiency and accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the defect detection process into distinct modules for different image types (DM images, TDI images, AOI color images), each processed by specialized defect detection models. This segmentation allows parallel processing of multiple image types, improving overall detection efficiency while maintaining system organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If multiple types of images are processed with specialized defect detection models, then detection accuracy improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a unified deep learning framework that can process multiple types of images (DM, TDI, AOI color) through different defect detection models. The system uses a common architecture with shared components (such as the use of same initial model for training different defect detection models) while maintaining specialized processing for each image type, achieving multi-functionality without excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies specialized defect detection models tailored to specific image types (DM models for DM images, TDI models for TDI images, AOI color models for AOI color images). Each model is locally optimized for its specific image type to maximize detection accuracy, while the overall system maintains a unified structure for efficient management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
