Abstract

There is provided a method of defect detection on a specimen and a system thereof. The method includes: obtaining a runtime image representative of at least a portion of the specimen; processing the runtime image using a supervised model to obtain a first output indicative of the estimated presence of first defects on the runtime image; processing the runtime image using an unsupervised model component to obtain a second output indicative of the estimated presence of second defects on the runtime image; and combining the first output and the second output using one or more optimized parameters to obtain a defect detection result of the specimen.
