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, one or more areas of an image of a portion of a textile;
- determining, based on the one or more areas of the image and one or more areas of a reference image, one or more height variations associated with the portion of the textile;
- and
- performing, based on at least one height variation of the one or more height variations satisfying a threshold, an action.

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
- generating, based on the one or more areas indicative of the height variation, an overlay for the image.
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 one or more areas of an image of a portion of a textile
- determine, based on the one or more areas of the image and one or more areas of a reference image, one or more height variations associated with the portion of the textile;
- and
- perform, based on at least one height variation of the one or more height variations satisfying a threshold, an action.
