• Textile inspection is traditionally labor-intensive and error-prone.
• Computer vision-based AI/ML solution using open source tools was developed for textile defect detection during the fabric inspection process.
• Old-school manual fabric inspection machine was successfully integrated with cameras and open source AI/ML tools running on high-performance compute device.
• Reasonably priced system was affordably applied to a much lower cost labor-intensive industry without expensive retooling or excessively high-priced technology.
• Implementation and integration challenges encountered during design and development of this unique solution were resolved.
• Model worked but was not scalable enough and was sensitive to folds and creases.
• Inferencing was good but the system was not robust enough to handle high motor speed.
