Abstract
A false alarm reduction system and method are provided for reducing false alarms in an automatic defect detection system. The false alarm reduction system includes a defect detection system, generating a list of image boxes marking detected potential defects in an input image. The false alarm reduction system further includes a feature extractor, transforming each of the image boxes in the list into a respective set of numerical features. The false alarm reduction system also includes a classifier, computing as a classification outcome for the each of the image boxes whether the detected potential defect is a true defect or a false alarm responsive to the respective set of numerical features for each of the image boxes.
