Semantic segmentation of inspection targets

A system for specifying visual inspection parameters for an item of manufacture, the system comprising a processor and a memory storing instructions which instruct the processor to:

• access a plurality of enrollment images of an example of the item of manufacture;
• for each of a plurality of regions appearing in a respective image of the plurality of enrollment images, classify the region as imaging an identified inspection target having an inspection target type;
• generate, using the regions and their classifications, a spatial model of the item of manufacture which indicates the spatial positioning of inspection targets and their respective inspection target types;
• and
• calculate camera poses for use in obtaining images appropriate to inspection of the inspection targets, based on their respective modeled spatial positions and inspection target types.
