In order to effectively detect the defects for fabric image with complex texture, this paper proposed a novel detection algorithm based on an end-to-end convolutional neural network. First, the proposal regions are generated by RPN (regional proposal Network). Then, Fast Region-based Convolutional Network method (Fast R-CNN) is adopted to determine whether the proposal regions extracted by RPN is a defect or not. Finally, Soft-NMS (non-maximum suppression) and data augmentation strategies are utilized to improve the detection precision. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can locate the fabric defect region with higher accuracy compared with the state-of- art, and has better adaptability to all kinds of the fabric image.
Fabric defect detection plays an important role in improving the quality of fabric product. In this paper, a novel fabric defect detection method based on visual saliency using deep feature and low-rank recovery was proposed. First, unsupervised training is carried out by the initial network parameters based on MNIST large datasets. The supervised fine-tuning of fabric image library based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) is implemented, and then more accurate deep neural network model is generated. Second, the fabric images are uniformly divided into the image block with the same size, then we extract their multi-layer deep features using the trained deep network. Thereafter, all the extracted features are concentrated into a feature matrix. Third, low-rank matrix recovery is adopted to divide the feature matrix into the low-rank matrix which indicates the background and the sparse matrix which indicates the salient defect. In the end, the iterative optimal threshold segmentation algorithm is utilized to segment the saliency maps generated by the sparse matrix to locate the fabric defect area. Experimental results demonstrate that the feature extracted by CNN is more suitable for characterizing the fabric texture than the traditional LBP, HOG and other hand-crafted features extraction method, and the proposed method can accurately detect the defect regions of various fabric defects, even for the image with complex texture.
