Abstract
A method for assembly inspection is disclosed. The system may include obtaining a digital image of an assembled product, extracting images of one or more objects from the digital image of the assembled product, and recognizing each of the one or more objects as a component based on its extracted image and a library of standard components. The method may further include identifying one or more features of each recognized component, comparing each of the one or more identified features with a corresponding standard feature of the corresponding standard component, and determining an assembly fault if at least one of the one or more identified features does not match the corresponding standard feature.
