Systems and methods for on-loom detection of faults in fabric. An image-capture trigger-mechanism triggers an imaging device to capture a first image of a section of the weaving area at a first instant during each weft insertion cycle and a second image of the section of weaving area may be captured at a second instant during each weft insertion cycle. The images may be timed to provide images of the warp yarns and the weft yarns at optimal instants during the weft insertion cycle. An image processor detects irregularities in the data received from the imaging device.

Methods and systems for multiple image collection in an on-loom fabric inspection system

System and method for on-loom fabric inspection includes an imaging device collecting images of a weaving area of a loom, a frame grabber receiving images of a fell-pick of and sending compact image data packages to an image processor. Irregularities may be detected by comparing a digital string representing the characteristic sequence of warp-risers and warp-sinkers along the fell-pick with a corresponding row () of required warp-risers and required warp-sinkers in a reference matrix () representing a required weaving pattern. The digital string may be a sequence of Boolean values.

Method and system for line-by-line one dimensional fabric inspection

On-loom fabric inspection system () including an imaging device () configured to collect images of a weaving area () of a loom (). An image-capture trigger-mechanism () triggers the imaging device () to capture images at required instants during the weaving cycle. An image processor () receives data from the imaging device () and further detects irregularities in the data.

Methods and systems for triggered on-loom fabric inspection

Fabric-monitoring device

An on-loom fabric inspection system having at least one imaging device configured to collect images of at least one section of a weaving area of a loom including a shed region, a woven fabric region and a fell region. The system is operable to detect faults in the weaving area and to produce batches of woven fabric assigned with an objective quality index.

On-loom fabric inspection system and method

On-loom fabric inspection system to identify weaving faults during the process of fabric manufacture thereby enabling early detection or prevention of fabric defects. A method for continuous monitoring of woven textiles during production and an objective standard for quality control of such fabrics.
