Defect Detection

The On-Loom Defect Detection houses a robust defect detection algorithm while overcoming vibration, variable loom speed, and nonuniform sensor response. I was the first on-loom fabric inspection system created, using a DSP-based board to acquire high quality images ranging from 100-200 pixels/inch.

The algorithm takes the image through the processes displayed in the flowchart below:
