A new method for knitted fabric defect detection and classification using image analysis and neural networks is presented. Images of six different induced defects were obtained and used in the analysis. Statistical procedures and Fourier Transforms were utilized as two different approaches in the feature extraction effort and neural networks were used to detect and classify the defects. The results showed success in detection and classification of most defects especially when the Fourier transforms technique was utilized.
