Patterned Fabric Defect Detection Using Regular Band and Distance Matching Function

Abstract

In the proposed work regular band method along with distance matching function is carried out for patterned fabric defect detection. Regular band is used to define the regularity of patterned fabric. In this paper we proposed the modified distance matching function which is used to calculate horizontal and vertical periodic distance of repetitive unit in patterned fabrics. This method gives better accuracy than the existing methods for the defects detection such as hole, broken end, thick bar, thin bar, multiple threading and knots.
