Abstract

This paper investigates two methods for the detection of defects on textured surfaces using neural networks and support vector machines. Every pixel from the inspection image is characterized by a feature vector, which serves as a local measure of homogeneity of texture. The feature vectors from the gray-level arrangement of neighboring pixels are transformed to eigenspace using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The transformed features from a predetermined set of training images are used to train the classifier. The trained classifier is used to classify every pixel from inspection image into two-class, i.e. with- or without-defect. The experimental results on real fabric defects show that the proposed scheme can successfully segment the defects from the inspection images.
