Objects Identification on the Color Layout Images of the Integrated Circuit Layers

An algorithm for object identification on the color images of integrated circuit layout is proposed. The layout image is represented as set of picture areas that have slightly different conditions of photographing. The identification algorithm based on segmentation and two- steps image filtration using mathematical morphology and semantic approach. It can be applied for the tasks of integrated circuits redesign and automated visual inspection of integrated circuits and photomask production.
