Authors proposed a defect identiûcation method for bare PCB based on multi-feature fusion. Authors showed previous work with advantages and disadvantages. Published results for accuracy is good. However, there are some comments as below.

1. Authors showed Equations (11)-(16) but it might combine them. It is also fine to leave that if it does not need to combine them.
2. Please cite (The principle of it is to use image acquisition~) with ref. (https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/21/15/4968).
3. Figure 4 quality looks low.
