Defect detection in textured materials by optical filtering with structured detectors and self‐adaptable masks

Abstract
An optical method using Fourier transformation and spatial filtering is used to reveal defects in textured materials in real time. New optical structured filter types were developed including a self‐adaptable mask made of photochromic polymers. The characteristics of these materials make possible very promising applications in pattern recognition such as that represented by a fabric. © 1996 Society of Photo−Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
