What is the color defect detection method of polysilicon wafers?
The color defect detection method of polysilicon wafers mainly consists of five stages, including image pre-processing, edge fitting, HSV model transforming, color detecting based on fuzzy color clustering and classifying, and outputs (see Fig. 4). Wafer images taken by CCD camera include the foreground and background.
