| The textile industry is driven by the need for quality control and monitoring in all  phases of production. One very important step in quality assurance is the defect  detection and identification on the surface of textile. However, there is no effective  feature detection system available and the inspection is conducted manually. This is  both ineffective and expensive.  To all these questions, this paper designs a whole intelligent architecture which  has practical value in feature extraction and defect identification. First it uses the  knowledge in image processing to preprocess all the images of defect. Then their  features become distinct by using the technique of edge detection.  In the feature extraction and identification, the paper brings forward the fuzzy  and wavelet algorithm which combines the fuzzy theory and wavelet transform  technique. The features are extracted by using wavelet transform and then these  features are fuzzied. At last the inferencing machine identifies the sort of defect  according to the knowledge in the knowledge-base. At the same time some  performance metrics are provided. According to these performance metrics, the  fuzziness process can accommodate to exterior disturbance and improve classification  ability.  Lots of experiments and stimulations indicate this algorithm is feasible in theory  and the identification and classification is satisfying. |
