Fabric Defect Automated Detection Technology

Abstract

To solve the problem of automated defect detection for textile fabrics, this paper proposed a method for fabric defect detection which is based on computer vision. After the operations in many aspects of basis image processing, such as gray-scale, denoising, contour detection and morphological, and it can transmit the fabric defect image information to host-computer with the USB interface in time. In order to acquire high processing speed, the captured images from each camera are sent into one dedicate computer for distributed and parallel image processing. The experimental result confirms that the proposed method can is feasible in rapid defect detection, and has a broad market prospect.
