Abstract

Provided is a method for virtually executing an operation of an energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS) system in real time production line by analyzing a defect included in a material undergoing inspection based on computer vision, the method including receiving a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the material including the defect, extracting an image-feature from the SEM image of the material, classifying the extracted image-feature under a predetermined label, predicting, based on the classified image-feature, an element associated with the defect included in the material and a shape of the predicted element, and grading the defect included in the material based on comparing the predicted element with a predetermined criteria.
