Terminology

ROI

A region of interest is a region selected from an image. The region is the focus of the analyses of the images. Selecting regions of interest helps reduce processing time and improve accuracy

Labeling

Labeling refers to the process of selecting object features or contours from images and adding labels indicating features or defects to the selections, and the process of adding labels to individual images, thus telling the model what contents it should learn.

Dataset

A dataset contains the original data and labelings. In Mech-DLK, datasets are saved in dlkdb files.

Unlabeled data

Original data without and labelings.

Training set

The part of the dataset allocated for model training.

Validation set

The part of the dataset allocated for model validation.

OK image

In defect defection, an OK image is an image that contains no defects.

NG image

in defect detection, an NG image is an image that contains any defects.

Training

Training refers to the process of letting the model learn on the training set.

Validation

Validation refers to the process of verifying the trained model on the validation set.

Accuracy

Accuracy refers to the ratio of the number of correctly predicted samples to the total number of samples in the validation set when validating the trained model.

Loss

Loss is a measure of the inconsistency between the model’s predictions on the validation set and the ground truth of the validation set.

Epochs

The number of times the model goes through all data in the training set when training. The model completes one epoch when it has gone through all training data once.

False positive

The situation where an image not containing defects is predicted as an image containing defects.

False negative

The situation where an image containing defects is predicted as an image not containing defects.
