Review On the Techniques Used for Detection of Fabric Defects Using AI

The garment industry is the second-most polluting industry after oil. These mass-produced clothes if rejected are dumped and have an enormous impact on the environment. Therefore, to save the cost post production it is important to identify any sorts of defects pre-production when clothes are in a textile form, so that in case the fabric lacks somewhere in quality it can always be replaced, saving all the time and cost. This detection is possible using techniques like segmentation, or on the basis of texture or by using deep learning algorithms each having its own advantages and disadvantages to efficiently identify the defects in textile fabric. This paper is a comprehensive study of these three techniques and comparison made on basis of brief analysis which say that the deep learning technique is the best of the three for detection of defects keeping in contrast the type of research and developing technologies.
