DEFECT DETECTION USING MULTI-MODALITY SENSOR DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18493391 titled 'DEFECT DETECTION USING MULTI-MODALITY SENSOR DATA

The patent application describes methods and systems for defect detection in a system by comparing predicted system states to actual system states.

  • Determining a first residual score by comparing a predicted system state to an actual system state based on environment data.
  • Determining a second residual score by comparing a predicted system state to an actual system state based on system state data.
  • Generating a defect score based on the difference between the first and second residual scores.
  • Performing an automatic action when the defect score indicates a defect in system behavior.

Potential Applications: - Quality control in manufacturing processes - Monitoring and maintenance of complex systems like machinery or equipment - Fault detection in automotive systems or electronic devices

Problems Solved: - Early detection of defects in systems - Improving system reliability and performance - Preventing system failures and downtime

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and systems for defect detection include determining a first residual score by comparing a first predicted system state, determined according to previously measured environment data, to an actual system state. A second residual score is determined by comparing a second predicted system state, determined according to previously measured system state data, to the actual system state. A defect score is generated based on a difference between the first residual score and the second residual score. An automatic action is performed responsive to a determination that the defect score indicates a defect in system behavior.
