Restructured Eigenfilter Matching for Novelty Detection in Random Textures
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new eigenfilter-based novelty detection approach to find abnormalities in random textures is presented. The proposed algorithm reconstructs a given texture twice using a subset of its own eigenfilter bank and a subset of a reference (template) eigenfilter bank, and measures the reconstruction error as the level of novelty. We then present an improved reconstruction generated by structurally matched eigenfilters through rotation, negation, and mirroring. We apply the method to the detection of defects in textured ceramic tiles. The method is over 90% accurate, and is fast and amenable to implementation on a production line.

Texture Exemplars for Defect Detection on Random Textures
We present a new approach to detecting defects in random textures which requires only very few defect free samples for unsupervised training. Each product image is divided into overlapping patches of various sizes. Then, density mixture models are applied to reduce groupings of patches to a number of textural exemplars, referred to here as texems, characterising the means and covariances of who...
متن کاملTowards efficient texture classification and abnormality detection
One of the fundamental issues in image processing and machine vision is texture, specifically texture feature extraction, classification and abnormality detection. This thesis is concerned with the analysis and classification of natural and random textures, where the building elements and the structure of texture are not clearly determinable, hence statistical and signal processing approaches a...
متن کاملThe Cyborg Astrobiologist: Matching of Prior Textures by Image Compression for Geological Mapping and Novelty Detection
We describe an image-comparison technique of Heidemann and Ritter (2008a,b) that uses image compression, and is capable of: (i) detecting novel textures in a series of images, as well as of: (ii) alerting the user to the similarity of a new image to a previously-observed texture. This image-comparison technique has been implemented and tested using our Astrobiology Phone-cam system, which emplo...
متن کاملDetection of Visual Defects in Citrus Fruits: Multivariate Image Analysis vs Graph Image Segmentation
This paper presents an application of visual quality control in orange post-harvesting comparing two different approaches. These approaches correspond to two very different methodologies released in the area of Computer Vision. The first approach is based on Multivariate Image Analysis (MIA) and was originally developed for the detection of defects in random color textures. It uses Principal Co...
متن کاملNon-parametric texture defect detection using Weibull features
The detection of abnormalities is a very challenging problem in computer vision, especially if these abnormalities must be detected in images of textured surfaces such as textile, stone, or wood. We propose a novel, nonparametric approach for defect detection in textures that only employs two features. We compute the two parameters of a Weibull fit for the distribution of image gradients in loc...
