Abstract

A diaphragm detection method includes acquiring a target image of an electrode plate to be detected. The electrode plate to be detected includes an anode electrode plate and diaphragms respectively stacked on two sides of the anode electrode plate. The method further includes performing image processing on the target image to determine a target image region in the target image, and performing diaphragm misalignment detection on the electrode plate to be detected based on the target image region.
