Owing to its excellent performance in computer vision, deep learning has been applied to UAV inspection image processing tasks such as power line identification and insulator defect detection. Despite their excellent performance, electric power UAV inspection image processing models based on deep learning face several problems such as a small application scope, the need for constant retraining and optimization, and high R&D monetary and time costs due to the black-box and scene data-driven characteristics of deep learning. In this study, an automated deep learning system for electric power UAV inspection image analysis and processing is proposed as a solution to the aforementioned problems. This system design is based on the three critical design principles of generalizability, extensibility, and automation. Pre-trained models, fine-tuning (downstream task adaptation), and automated machine learning, which are closely related to these design principles, are reviewed. In addition, an automated deep learning system architecture for electric power UAV inspection image analysis and processing is presented. A prototype system was constructed and experiments were conducted on the two electric power UAV inspection image analysis and processing tasks of insulator self-detonation and bird nest recognition. The models constructed using the prototype system achieved 91.36% and 86.13% mAP for insulator self-detonation and bird nest recognition, respectively. This demonstrates that the system design concept is reasonable and the system architecture feasible .展开更多

To prepare for this upgrade, it is important to study the automation of semiconductor failure analysis. In this paper, the sample polishing activity was studied for upgrading to a smart polishing process. Two major issues were identified in implementing the smart polishing process: the optimization of current polishing recipes and the capability of making decisions based on live feedback. With the help of Solver add-in, the current polishing recipes were optimized. To make decisions based on live images captured during polishing, strategies were explored based on finger polishing process study. Our investigation showed that a grey scale line profile analysis on images can be used to build the vision capability of our smart polishing system, on which a decision- making capability can be developed.展开更多
