Application: X-ray imaging system and learned model production method (Patent ID: US20240068962A1)

The patent filed by Shimadzu Corp describes an X-ray imaging system that acquires images from a teacher X-ray image of an inspection target and uses discrimination information to identify areas of interest and defects. The system includes components such as an X-ray emitter, detector, image generator, and model producer that performs machine learning using input and output teacher data sets based on the acquired images and discrimination information. The system can be used for analyzing regular arrangements of inspection targets, such as solder material pieces on a substrate, to identify defect parts accurately.

The X-ray imaging system's model producer includes a cut-out image acquirer, discrimination information acquirer, and learning performer to facilitate the machine learning process. The system allows for user input instructions to specify target areas, ranges of images to be cut out, and adjustments for aligning images to a common size. Additionally, the system can acquire background images to exclude inspection targets for more precise analysis. The method described in the patent involves acquiring images, discrimination information, and performing machine learning to produce a learned model for analyzing X-ray images of inspection targets with regular arrangements, providing a comprehensive and efficient solution for defect detection and analysis in X-ray imaging systems.
