Parameter Adaptive LCD Screen Defect Detection Framework by LIU Wang, SHAO Huili, HE Yongjun, XIE Yining, CHEN Deyun

“…It is necessary to detect defects in the production process of LCD screens for quality improvements Manual detection brings a heavy workload and low accuracy Therefore, an efficient and accurate automatic detection method is urgently needed To this end, this paper proposes a new defect detection framework, which mainly includes screen area extraction, preprocessing, threshold segmentation and defect selection By adaptive adjustment of parameters, the detection method can adapt to various complex situations In order to eliminate the influence of illumination changes, the defect region is segmented by automatic parameter adjustment in the threshold segmentation First, the maximum grayscale value of the image is calculated, and then the fixed parameters and the coefficient of the defect image are determined according to the nodefect image, and finally the maximum value which was selected as the minimum threshold of the threshold segmentation from the fixed parameters and the product of the maximum grayscale value and the coefficient In addition, in order to solve the problem that the brightness difference of the images captured by lowresolution cameras is too small to detect defects in the saturation condition, selfadaptive adjustment of exposure parameters was used to collect images to process different parts of images with large difference in light and shade Experiments show that the method can achieve high performance and efficiency in detecting defects such as points, lines, Mura, saturation…”

Weighted evidence combination based on degree of credibility and certainty by Lu WANG, Qing-hua XING, Yi-fan MAO

“…To overcome the invalidation problem of Dempster rule with high conflict,a weighted combination method based on degree of credibility and certainty was proposed.Firstly,the cosine similarity was modified to hold the ability to measure the evidence conflict when multi-subset focal elements were included,followed by the building of evidence credibility model.Secondly,the evidence certainty model based on precision and entropy was presented,which can both reflect the evidence’s degree of multi-subset focal elements and the dispersion degree of probability assignment.Then the weighted coefficient was determined by credibility and certainty.Finally,the normalized weighted coefficient was used to average the basic probability assignment,and the final combination result can be obtained according to Dempster rule.Numerical examples show that,compared with other traditional weighted combination methods,the proposed approach has made better performance in reducing conflict and accelerating convergence.…”
