Classification of Circular Knitting Fabric Defects Using MobileNetV2 Model

Abstract

Fabric defects cause both labor and raw material losses and energy costs. These undesirable situations negatively affect the competitiveness of companies in the textile sector. Traditionally, human-oriented quality control also has important limitations such as lack of attention and fatigue. Robust and efficient defect detection systems can be developed with image processing and artificial intelligence methods. This study proposes a deep learning-based method to detect and classify common fabric defects in circular knitting fabrics. The proposed method adds a fine-tuned mechanism to the MobileNetV2 deep learning model. The added fine-tuned mechanism is optimized to classify fabric defects. The proposed model has been tested on a fabric dataset containing circular knitting fabric defects. Obtained results showed that the proposed method produced desired results in fabric defect detection and classification.
