The method further includes: accessing a first image depicting an unverified assembly unit; detecting a first constellation of features in the first image; characterizing differences between corresponding features in the initial constellation of features and the first constellation of features; identifying a first dimension of a first feature of interest exhibiting a first difference exceeding a threshold difference; receiving manual verification the first feature of interest from the first constellation of features, the first dimension offset from a target dimension of the first feature of interest from the initial constellation of features; and defining a first nominal feature range for the first feature of interest, the range bounded by the first dimension and the target dimension.

Abstract

A method includes accessing feature values representing a historical population of assembly units assembled on an assembly line; and accessing a failure status of the assembly unit at a target test on the assembly line. The method also includes, for each feature: deriving a correlation between values of the feature and failure status at the target test; deriving an effective limit of the feature based on scope of feature values in the historical population of assembly units; and calculating an action score for the feature based on the correlation and a width of the effective limit. The method further includes: selecting a particular feature exhibiting greatest action score; defining a preemptive test for the particular feature upstream of the target test during a next assembly period; and assigning a target limit, narrower than an effective limit of the particular feature, to the preemptive test.

One variation of a method for predicting manufacturing defects includes: accessing a first set of inspection images of a first set of assembly units recorded by an optical inspection station over a first period of time; generating a first set of vectors representing features extracted from the first set of inspection images; grouping neighboring vectors in a multi-dimensional feature space into a set of vector groups; accessing a second inspection image of a second assembly recorded by the optical inspection station at a second time succeeding the first period of time; detecting a second set of features in the second inspection image; generating a second vector representing the second set of features in the multi-dimensional feature space; and, in response to the second vector deviating from the set of vector groups by more than a threshold difference, flagging the second assembly unit.
