HALCON 13: Texture inspection

Texture inspection can be a very difficult and challenging task, because textures often have very different characteristics such as scale or brightness. The selection and adjustment of the parameters that are required to set up a texture inspection system is often tricky. HALCON 13 therefore offers an easy-to-use texture inspection, which is configured by simply passing some training images.

The algorithm automatically adjusts the necessary parameters based on training images that show flawless texture. For this, the algorithm uses a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) classification on multiple levels of an image pyramid. The trained texture inspection model can then be used to detect potential texture defects.
