Abstract: An algorithm based on sparse representation was proposed to reconstruct high-resolution (HR) SAM images. Scanning acoustic microscope (SAM) is always used for defect detection of electronic packages, but the spatial resolution is limited by the frequency and penetration depth of ultrasound. The original SAM image with low resolution is adverse to defect recognition. The HR SAM image is obtained through dictionary training and sparse coefficient α solving. The Levenberg-Marquardt modified BP neural network (LM-BP) was used to classify the solder joints. Compared with the original image and the bicubic interpolation image, the peak signal-to-noise ratio of the sparsely reconstructed image is significantly increased, the quality of the SAM image is improved, the number of misidentified solder joints is reduced, and the error rate is reduced to 2.76%. The experimental results demonstrated that the sparse representation algorithm and the LM-BP neural network are effective and accurate for defect inspection of high-density packages.
