Abstract

Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable medium are described for automated image measurement for process development and optimization. A method includes receiving an image of a product associated with a manufacturing process; determining, using a trained machine learning model, an image classification for the image; selecting, based on the image classification, one or more image processing algorithms for the image; pre-processing the image based on at least one of the one or more image processing algorithms to generate an enhanced image; measuring, using a first image processing algorithm of the one or more image processing algorithms, one or more attributes of the enhanced image to determine image measurements; and reporting the image measurements. The manufacturing parameters of the manufacturing process are to be updated based on the image measurements.
