Abstract

A method for detecting from images correct placement and function, or incorrect placement and function, of a clip of a transportation box of wafers in sterile or similar conditions obtains an image template comprising features of clip and obtains a first detection image of a working clip. An object region focusing on the imaged clip in the first detection image is determined according to the image template. Part of the working image is selected as a first preset location. The part of the image is masked to obtain a second detection image, the masking obscures the background region of the part of the image but not the clip-object region, and displays the unobscured clip-object region. The second detection image is input into a trained neural network model to determine whether the clip is in sealed or unsealed state. An electronic device and a non-transitory storage medium are also disclosed.
