Abstract

A system includes a memory and a processor device operatively coupled to the memory to obtain an inspected noise-indicative value representative of an analyzed pixel of an inspected image of an inspected object, and a reference noise-indicative value representative for each of multiple reference pixels of the inspected image. The processor device computes a representative noise-indicative value based on the inspected noise-indicative value and multiple reference noise-indicative values, calculates a defect-indicative value based on an inspected value representative of the analyzed pixel and determines a presence of a defect in the analyzed pixel based on the representative noise-indicative value and the defect-indicative value.
