Abstract
Due to the cost and complexity of existing defect detection systems, a fabric defect detection device based on an artificial vision system has been developed in this study. Using knitted pile fabric, six types of defects were studied: loop drop, fly defect, grease spot, cross- striped defect, hole defect and pilling defect. Obtained fabric images were converted into histograms by a computer program developed within the scope of this study and defect types were characterized
