Abstract
Input data may be received. The input data may include an image of a pattern and location data that identifies a modified portion of the pattern. A processing device may determine a first parameter of a first dimension within the pattern and a second parameter of a second dimension outside of the pattern. A combined set may be generated based on the first parameter and the second parameter. A defect associated with the modified portion may be classified based on the combined set.
