Abstract
A computer-implemented method of automated X-ray inspection during the production of printed circuit board, PCB, assemblies. The method includes capturing an X-ray image of a PCB assembly, determining a first error indicator based on image processing of the captured X-ray image, determining, in case the first error indicator indicates the PCB assembly as faulty, a second error indicator based on the captured X-ray image using a trained adaptive algorithm, and outputting the second error indicator as a result of the inspection.
