Abstract
A neural network device includes: (1) a pre-processor configured to select target images from scanning electron microscope (SEM) images, based on frequencies respectively corresponding to the SEM images, and crop each of the target images into a plurality of cropped images; (2) a neural network processor configured to generate a crop detection image by inferring a target object from each of the plurality of cropped images by using a segmentation model trained to detect the target object in each of the plurality of cropped images; and (3) a post-processor configured to merge crop detection images with each other in a same size as the SEM images, based on position information of the plurality of cropped images.
