METHOD FOR INSPECTING APPEARANCE

摘要

PURPOSE:To shorten a time required for the learning of a neural network or the selection of a feature value to be inputted at the time of inspecting appearance by means of the neural network. CONSTITUTION:After excluding an optional feature value or more out of plural feature values extracted from the image of a target to be inspected as feature values to be inputted to an input layer, the validity of the target to be inspected is discriminated and analyzed, and when a misdecision rate is increased as the result of discrimination, the excluded feature value is recognized as a feature value extremely relating to the discrimination/analysis of validity and selected, so that the feature value effective for the discrimination of validity can be selected and the learning of the neural network can rapidly be executed.
