YOLOv8 and ResNet-50 Based Real-Time Fabric Defect Detection and Quality Grading System
Abstract
Automated fabric defect inspection is essential to address the low speed and inefficiency of manual inspection, which often requires machine stoppages to record defects. In contrast, this study presents a continuous, real-time defect detection and grading system based on the 4-point standard, integrating computer vision and deep learning techniques. A dataset of 1,456 annotated fabric images was developed from captured production videos. The proposed method employs ResNet-50 as the backbone for feature extraction and YOLOv8 for object detection, followed by defect quantification to determine fabric grades. Experimental evaluation shows that the model achieves a precision of 0.789, recall of 0.554, mAP50 of 0.675, mAP50-95 of 0.461, and an F1-score of 0.61. The class-wise mAP50 scores are 0.744 for line defects, 0.839 for stain defects, and 0.442 for hole defects. While the integration of convolutional neural networks with automated grading logic enhances detection accuracy and reliability in textile quality control, the relatively low performance on hole defects indicates the impact of dataset imbalance, as this category contained significantly fewer samples. Addressing this limitation through targeted data augmentation or additional data collection is recommended to improve generalization and achieve balanced detection performance across defect categories.References
