Abstract
The invention provides an automatic inspection process for detecting visible defects on a manufactured item. The process includes a set up mode in which images of same-type defect free items, but not images of same-type defected items, are obtained, and an inspection mode in which images of both same-type defect free items and same-type defected items, are obtained and defects are detected. Images of the same-type defect free items are analyzed and based on the analysis the process switches to the inspection mode.

1-21. (canceled)
An inspection line system comprising
- a processor in communication with a user interface and a camera,
- the processor to, in an inspection stage, determine from an image of an inspected item on an inspection line, if the inspected item has a defect or is defect free,
- the system characterized in that the processor is to
- analyze an image of a defect free item of a same type as the inspected item;
- and
- based on the analysis, generate a signal to provide instructions to a user, via the user interface, prior to the inspection stage, thereby avoiding user frustration.
A method for an automatic production line inspection process, the process including a set up mode in which only images of same-type defect free items are obtained, and an inspection mode in which images of both same-type defect free items and same-type defected items are obtained, the method comprising
- analyzing the images of the same-type defect free items, by comparing the images to each other;
- and
- generating, based on results of the analysis of the images of the same-type defect free items, a signal to switch to the inspection mode in order to detect defected items.
