Application: Mark detection method and computer program (Patent ID: US20240104753A1)
The patent filed by Screen Holdings Co Ltd describes a method for detecting alignment marks on objects using a computer. The method involves encoding partial images of the object using a VAE model to generate latent variables in a multi-dimensional space. These latent variables are then used to select partial images likely to contain alignment marks, reducing the burden on operators searching for these marks. Additional steps include extracting characteristic shapes from images, removing unwanted elements, and updating the VAE model through machine learning to improve mark detection accuracy.
The method also includes steps for adjusting the dimensionality of the latent space based on the distribution of latent variables, reducing the dimensionality to improve efficiency. Furthermore, the learning process involves identifying effective components within the latent variables to generate corrected images for improved detection. The patent also covers a computer program that enables the execution of this mark detection method. Overall, the method streamlines the process of detecting alignment marks on objects by automating the selection of relevant partial images based on latent variables, enhancing operational efficiency and accuracy.
