Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach for defect detection using a wavelet-domain Hidden Markov Tree (HMT)¹ model and a level set segmentation technique. The background, which is assumed to contain homogeneous texture, is modeled off-line with HMT. Using this model, a region map of the defect image is produced on-line through likelihood calculations, accumulated in a coarse-to-fine manner in the wavelet domain. As expected, the region map is basically separated into two regions: 1) the defects, and 2) the background. A level-set segmentation technique is then applied to this region map to locate the defects. This approach is tested with images of defective fabric, as well as x-ray images of cotton with trash. The proposed method shows promising preliminary results, suggesting that it may be extended to a more general approach of defect detection.
