    摘要: An object recognize apparatus suitable for recognition of a complex object constituted with a plurality of elements. When specifying a recognition object, a plurality of elements constituting the finally required recognition object are respectively designated as recognition objects, and when specifying an upper-level recognition object, lower-level recognition objects thereof are designated. Furthermore, for each lower-level recognition object, geometric features necessary for the recognition are specified. In an analysis of image data, the lower-level recognition objects are first detected by use of the geometric features so as to next attain the upper-level recognition object based on results of the detection. As a result, a complex object existing at an arbitrary position can be judged and the position thereof is obtained.

    摘要: Conventionally, defect data outputted by an inspection system comprised only characteristic quantitative data, such as coordinate data, area, and projected length, and only the coordinate data for moving to a defect location could be utilized effectively. By contrast, the present invention, by using image data in addition to characteristic quantitative data as the defect data for an inspection system, enables the retrieval of image data via an outside results confirmation system. Further, in the case of defect data of a plurality of substrates, it is enabled to display a defect image during inspection by the fact that similar defects are retrieved via images and retrieval results are displayed as trends makes it possible to display a defect image during inspection by searching similar defects on images and displaying them as a trend, designating a substrate on the trend, thereby displaying the defect map thereof and designating a defect on the defect map.

    摘要: In a pattern inspecting apparatus, images of places which can be expected to be the same pattern are compared with one another. However, a comparison of images obtained by different stage scans and the occurrence of a place capable of being inspected only once lead to a deterioration in the performance of detecting various error defects and an area incapable of being inspected, respectively. For solving this problem, defects detected in a high sensitivity condition are regarded as defect candidates and a critical threshold value, used as a boundary to detect a smaller value as a defect, of a defect candidate portion is obtained by an image processing circuit or an image of the defect candidate portion is obtained by processing with software. Further, the critical threshold value thus obtained is compared with plural threshold values, thereby permitting plural inspection results to be obtained in a single inspection.
