First Claim
Patent Images
1. An image-based decision method using a multilevel Chain-And-Tree model comprises the following steps:
- (a) Input at least one reference multilevel CAT model basis of a subject selected from the set consisting of inspection specification, learning image, and application knowledge;
(b) Create a multilevel reference CAT model using at least one reference CAT model basis wherein the subject is represented by its components of geometric entities and their relations at multiple levels and the relations between components are represented as a chain or a tree link;
(c) Input a new image;
(d) Create a multilevel result CAT model having the same structure as the multilevel reference CAT model storing the measurement results of new image within the multilevel structure;
(e) Compare the multilevel reference CAT model and multilevel result CAT model to output a measurement result.

Abstract
A multilevel Chain-And-Tree model provides a framework for an image based decision system. The decision system enables separation of effects of defects within one component from other components within a common subject. The framework provides for linking of structure constraints of components of a common subject and for checking and resolving their consistency. The framework allows discrimination between subtle image changes and natural variations of the subject. The framework for standard data representation facilitates production process control.

6. An image-based decision method using a multilevel Chain-And-Tree model comprises the following steps:
-
(a) Input inspection specification; (b) Input at least one learning image; (c) Create a multilevel reference CAT model using the inputs wherein the subject is represented by its components of geometric entities and their relations at multiple levels and the relations between components are represented as a chain or a tree link; (d) Create a multilevel processing CAT model using the inputs and the multilevel reference CAT model having the same structure as the multilevel reference CAT model storing the processing algorithm and sequence within the multilevel structure; (e) Input a new image; (f) Create a multilevel result CAT model using the processing CAT model and the new image having the same structure as the multilevel reference CAT model storing the measurement results of new image within the structure; (g) Compare the multilevel reference CAT model and multilevel result CAT model to output at least one result. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
