Abstract
A system and method for generating a netlist for a printed circuit board. In some embodiments, the method includes capturing image data of a circuit board from a plurality of sensors to generate a set of captured data for each of the plurality of sensors; extracting a plurality of features from the image data using machine learning; and generating a design associated with the circuit board from the plurality of features.

1-20. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- capturing image data of a circuit board from a plurality of sensors to generate a set of captured data for each of the plurality of sensors, wherein the image data is a multimodal image data of the circuit board the plurality of sensors include a plurality of electromagnetic wavelengths;
- extracting a plurality of features from the image data using machine learning, wherein the plurality of features includes at least one of traces, pins, components, and/or text;
- fusing the plurality of features from each of the plurality of sensors to create a plurality of segmentation masks, wherein:
- the plurality of features are combined using a feature pyramid network;
- and
- the feature pyramid network is an encoder-decoder neural network;
- and
- generating a design associated with the circuit board from the plurality of features.
