Abstract

In order to solve the problem of low accuracy and efficiency for surface defects in common woven fabrics, a novel fabric defect classification method is proposed based on unsupervised segmentation and ELM. The classification method is divided into four steps including defect segmentation, feature extraction, ELM classifier training, and Bayesian probability fusion. Firstly, an unsupervised segmentation is presented for the Grayscale fabric defect image after preprocessing. Secondly, geometric and texture features were extracted by using the segmented image and the undivided Grayscale image. Then, features and labels in fabric defect images are considered as training sets to train the ELM classifier. Finally, the input fabric defect image is classified by the trained ELM classifier and the Bayesian probability fusion method. Experimental results show that the proposed method can classify the fabric defect image with high accuracy and efficiency that can better meet the requirements for practical applications.
