Abstract

An automatic detecting method and an automatic detecting apparatus using the same are provided. The automatic detecting apparatus includes an inputting unit, a dividing unit, a contouring unit, a range analyzing unit, a boundary analyzing unit, an edge detecting unit, an expanding unit and an overlapping unit. The dividing unit is used for dividing an overlooking image into four clusters via a clustering algorithm. The contouring unit is used for obtaining a contour. The range analyzing unit is used for obtaining a detecting range. The boundary analyzing unit is used for obtaining a circular boundary in the detecting range. The edge detecting unit is used for obtaining a plurality of edges in the circular boundary. The expanding unit is used for expanding the edges to obtain a plurality of expanded edges. The overlapping unit is used for overlapping the expanded edges and the contour to obtain a defect pattern.
