Synthetic Defect Generation for Display Front-of-Screen Quality Inspection: A Survey

Abstract

Display front-of-screen (FOS) quality inspection is essential for the mass production of displays in the manufacturing process. However, the severe imbalanced data, especially the limited number of defect samples, has been a long-standing problem that hinders the successful application of deep learning algorithms. Synthetic defect data generation can help address this issue. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art synthetic data generation methods and the evaluation metrics that can potentially be applied to display FOS quality inspection tasks.
