Methods and Systems for Product Failure Prediction based on X-ray Image Re-examination

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

• access a first set of X-ray images of one or more first samples that are labeled as being non-conforming;
• adjust a classification algorithm based on the first set of X-ray images, wherein the classification algorithm classifies samples into conforming or non-conforming categories based on an analysis of corresponding X-ray images;
• analyze a second set of X-ray images of a plurality of second samples using the adjusted classification algorithm, wherein the second samples are previously inspected samples that have been classified as conforming by the classification algorithm during a previous analysis before the classification algorithm is adjusted;
• and
• identify one or more of the second samples from the second set of X-ray images, wherein each identified second sample is classified as non-conforming by the adjusted classification algorithm.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media coupled to one or more of the processors and comprising instructions operable when executed by one or more of the processors to cause the system to:
