Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for analyzing one or more images of a textile to determine a presence or absence of defects. In one example, an image of at least a portion of a textile may be obtained and compared to a reference image of a reference textile. Based on the comparison, one or more areas indicative of a height variation between the textile and the reference textile may be determined. An action may be performed based on the one or more areas indicative of the height variation.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, based on a comparison of an image of at least a portion of a textile to a reference image of a reference textile, one or more areas indicative of a height variation between the textile and the reference textile;
- and
- performing an action based on the one or more areas indicative of the height variation.
A method comprising:
- determining, by a first computing device, based on a comparison of an image of at least a portion of a textile to a reference image of a reference textile, one or more areas indicative of a height variation between the textile and the reference textile;
- and
- sending, to a second computing device, an indication of the one or more areas indicative of the height variation.
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- determine, based on a comparison of an image of at least a portion of a textile to a reference image of a reference textile, one or more areas indicative of a height variation between the textile and the reference textile;
- and
- cause an action to be performed based on the one or more areas indicative of the height variation.
