Method and apparatus for detecting flaws in moving fabrics or the like

摘要

The present invention concerns a method and an apparatus for detecting flaws in moving fabrics or the like.;Method for detecting flaws on moving fabrics, cloths, sheet materials or the like, comprising the steps of forming an image of the fabric or the like and recording the said image by at least one array light sensitive sensor, digitizing the resulting video signal, transmitting the digitized image, after correction and specific modeling, to several distinct detection channels working contemporaneously, each of them being dedicated to one type or category of flaws to be detected, splitting, for each channel, the said modelised image into vectorial edge elements representative of the local concerned flaw texture, reconstructing, for each channel, the flaw type being searched on the basis of the said edge elements and using adapted windows, evaluating the weight components of all the edge elements contained in each said windows and indicating at least, if the case occurs, the presence, the type and/or the position of the flaws possibly detected.
