Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of textile fabrics, and particularly relates to a textile fabric color difference detection equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the textile printing and dyeing industry, color difference control is the core of quality management. At present, objective detection mainly relies on a contact type spectrophotometer, which calculates the difference (Delta E) with a standard color by measuring the colorimetric value of several points on the cloth. However, this method has a principle defect: Point-to-surface measurement blind area: point measurement can only reflect the local average colorimetric value, and cannot capture the spatial dimension defects such as color spots, yin and yang colors, gradual strip marks and local pollution that exist on the cloth surface. This leads to a serious deviation between the instrument data (Delta E qualified) and the quality inspector's visual judgment (appearance unqualified), which becomes the technical root of trade disputes.

[0003] Evaluation dimension missing: the existing technology can only quantify the color deviation, and lacks effective objective evaluation indexes for the color uniformity that determines the appearance grade of the cloth, and cannot distinguish uniform color deviation from color spots that are annoying.

[0004] No diagnostic ability: when determining unqualified, it cannot provide visual and quantitative information such as spatial distribution, shape and severity of defects, and it is difficult to guide the production link to carry out accurate process optimization. SUMMARY

[0005] The application aims to provide a textile fabric color difference detection equipment and method to solve the above technical problems.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the specific technical scheme of a textile fabric color difference detection equipment of the application is as follows: A textile fabric color difference detection equipment, comprising an image acquisition module, an image processing and feature calculation module, an intelligent judgment and learning module and a man-machine interaction and report module, the image acquisition module comprising a standard light source and a surface array imaging colorimeter, the image processing and feature calculation module being configured to execute the algorithm of the textile fabric color difference detection method, the intelligent judgment and learning module storing and running a hierarchical decision tree model and managing an online optimization process, and the man-machine interaction and report module being used for parameter setting, result display and report export.

[0007] Further, a textile fabric color difference detection method, comprising the steps of: S1. Standard color digital model construction: acquiring the surface area image of a standard cloth sample under a standard light source, and establishing a digital model containing pixel-level colorimetric value and texture statistical features after correction.

[0008] S2. Collecting the information of the sample area to be tested: Collect the image of the sample to be tested under the same conditions, and correct to generate the LAB color image to be tested.

[0009] S3. Multi-dimensional color difference feature extraction: the extracted feature vector; S4. Intelligent comprehensive judgment and diagnosis: input the feature vector extracted in step S3 into a preset hierarchical decision tree model. The model simulates the logic of quality inspection experts, and sequentially judges the overall color deviation, color uniformity, and local significant defects, and outputs the grade judgment and related process diagnosis suggestions. The system supports online optimization mechanism based on feedback of judgment parameters.

[0010] S5. Visual diagnosis report generation: output the visual report containing pseudo-color color difference cloud map, feature data, judgment conclusion and process suggestion.

[0011] Further, the method steps of step S3 multi-dimensional color difference feature extraction are: S3.1 Perception-optimized color difference map generation: an adaptive matching algorithm based on texture alignment degree is used to calculate the pixel-level color difference between the image to be tested and the standard model, and a color difference distribution matrix free from texture interference is generated .

[0012] S3.2 Global and statistical distribution feature calculation: the mean , standard deviation of , and further the skewness and kurtosis of the histogram are calculated to finely describe the color difference distribution pattern.

[0013] S3.3 Visual significant defect quantification: fuse color difference intensity and visual significance model to identify defect regions; extract shape-color joint descriptor for each region; and calculate the spatial aggregation index of all defect regions.

[0014] Further, the spatial aggregation index of the defect region is the global Moran index.

[0015] Further, a textile fabric color difference detection device also includes a system for executing the textile fabric color difference detection method; a device for continuously conveying the fabric on the production line; and a synchronization control device for triggering the image acquisition module to continuously or periodically shoot during the conveying process.

[0016] The advantages of the present application are: 1. By "area acquisition of area array imaging colorimeter" combined with "adaptive matching algorithm based on texture alignment", the problem of traditional point measurement "point instead of area" and inability to evaluate spatial uniformity is solved. The color space information of the whole fabric is obtained by area imaging, and the adaptive matching algorithm can effectively remove the interference of the inherent texture of the fabric, so that the generated color difference map purely reflects the dyeing difference.

[0017] 2. By "multi-dimensional color difference feature extraction (including skewness, kurtosis, and spatial aggregation index)" combined with "hierarchical decision tree model", the problem of single evaluation dimension and inability to intelligently diagnose in the prior art is solved. Skewness and kurtosis can finely depict the shape of color difference distribution and distinguish uniform color deviation from objectionable color spots. Spatial aggregation index (such as global Moran's index) can determine whether the defect is diffusely distributed or aggregated.

[0018] 3. By "multi-scale visual significant defect fusion detection algorithm" combined with "feedback-based decision parameter online optimization mechanism", the problems of complex defect missed detection and insufficient system adaptability are solved. The multi-scale fusion algorithm ensures that defects of different sizes and contrasts (from large area gradual change to small stains) can be effectively captured, improving the accuracy of detection.
