Abstract:
A camera-lens waterproofing device is provided, including a shell, a camera lens, a cover ring and an outer cover. A mounting hole is formed in a surface of the shell. The camera lens includes a body and a lens. One end of the body is disposed to the mounting hole, and the other end of the body extends out of the mounting hole. The lens is located at the other end of the body. The cover ring is connected to the body in a sleeving manner and fixed on the mounting hole. The outer cover is fixed at a periphery of the lens in a sleeving manner to form a first-layer waterproof structure and disposed on the surface of the shell, and covers the exterior of the cover ring.

Abstract:
A solder joint inspection model training method includes the steps of: training a first identification model according to first sample images to identify a surface-mount device with a solder joint in an image; training a second identification model according to second sample images to identify a surface-mount device without a solder joint in an image; inputting labeled original images to a trained first identification model to output first images; inputting the first images to a trained second identification model to output second images; masking the first images with the second images to generate images with normal solder joints and images with abnormal solder joints; and training a solder joint inspection model based on the images with normal solder joints and the images with abnormal solder joints.
