Effective classification of defects in Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) is critical for ensuring product quality. Traditional approaches to PCB defect detection have primarily relied on single-image analysis or failed to adequately address alignment issues between reference and test images, leading to reduced reliability and precision in defect detection. To overcome these limitations, this study aimed to introduce a novel deep image comparison method that could incorporate contrastive loss functions to improve image alignment with a contrastive attention mechanism to focus the model on areas with a higher likelihood of defects. Experiments conducted on actual PCB data demonstrated that the proposed method achieved superior classification performance, even with limited data, highlighting its potential to significantly enhance the reliability of PCB defect detection and address existing challenges in the field.

PSC box girder bridges comprise various elements, of which the tendon is the most important. The tendon is exceedingly vulnerable to defects such as corrosion. So, to protect it, it is inserted into the duct and then poured concrete. However, because the inner diameter of the duct is exceedingly narrow, there is a high probability that a cavity can occur with even a minor mistake. Thus, defects are identified through the professional interpretation of signals obtained using non-destructive testing. However, this requires high cost and much time. Additionally, it is difficult to accurately identify the internal state of the concrete structure. Thus, this study intends to apply Long Short-Term Memory. In this case, the Impact-Echo method, which is often used for concrete structures, is used as an input feature. And the characteristics of the structure (concrete thickness, depth of duct, distance between the hitting point and the measuring point) are used for learning. And, the frequency component of the IE signals is additionally used. As a result, the proposed model in this study can confirm approximately 88.56% accuracy.
