Abstract
A computer-implemented method of predicting a quality of a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly includes obtaining production data relating to production of the PCB assembly. The production data is mapped onto a latent vector of a latent space of a trained adaptive algorithm. The trained adaptive algorithm is trained on real X-ray images of PCB assemblies and/or serves for generating X-ray images of PCB assemblies. A subspace of the latent space related to the latent vector is determined. The subspace indicates a quality of the PCB assembly. Alternatively or additionally, an X-ray image of the PCB assembly is generated by the trained adaptive algorithm based on the latent vector in order to determine a quality of the PCB assembly.
