This document presents a proposal for a project to identify defects in white fabric using computer vision. The objectives are to identify common defects like horizontal/vertical stripes, yarn missing, bunching up, and stains. A dataset will be collected from a local textile industry using an HD camera. A methodology will be proposed using machine learning techniques and comparative analysis. The expected outcome is real-time defect identification to improve quality assurance and reduce costs for textile manufacturers.

• Procedure
• Key assumptions

5. Introduction
• The quality assurance of fabrics is a major problem in the textile
manufacturing industry. Automatic detection of defects is the most
important and challenging tasks. In order to guarantee fabric quality,
automatic detection of defects is the most challenging task. In Pakistan,
many industries have to bear the cost of defective products. Traditional
manual inspection is a labour-intensive process. Manual inspection of
fabric defects is unreliable that is seriously affected by factors including
varying light intensity, fatigue, and the experience-level of the
inspector.

6. Research Question
• Result 1
• Result 2
• Result 3

7. Objectives
• To Identify the following defects in white fabric:
o Horizontal or vertical stripes.
o Yarn missing
o Bunching up
o Stains
• Comparative analysis of machine learning techniques for defect
identification

8. Dataset
• The data is collecting from local textile industry manually by
capturing an image from HD camera that captures the image in
such a clear way that looks like a human eye see the images. The
captured image has features that defect images. The defects can
be in multiple forms either by yarn missing in figure 1.1 , stains in
figure 1.2, bunching up in figure1.3, vertical stripes in figure 1.4.
