How to inspect carpets and rugs with computer vision

How can a carpet or rug maker use computer vision to inspect rolls and finished pieces?

Cameras over the line look at the carpet or rug as it moves and flag missing tufts, loose or pulled loops, color streaks, stains, holes, crooked patterns and frayed edges for a person to check. Each flag is saved with a photo and its spot on the roll, so the crew can find and fix it fast and see if one machine or yarn lot keeps causing the same problem. A quality lead decides every pass or rework, and the usual wear, color and safety tests stay in place.

What this means in practice

A row of cameras and even light over the line take pictures across the full width of the carpet or rug as it moves after tufting, weaving, dyeing or finishing.
The model is trained on the clients own styles and yarns. It flags missing tufts, loose or pulled loops, uneven pile, color streaks or shade changes, stains, holes, patterns that drift out of line, and frayed or crooked edges.
Each flag is saved with a photo, the roll or piece number and its spot along the length, so the crew can walk straight to it and the team can see if one machine, needle bar or yarn lot keeps causing the same problem.
A quality lead checks every flag and decides whether the piece passes, gets mended or is cut out. The cameras point at the product, not at workers, and any people caught in view are blurred.
Start with one line and one style, compare the camera flags with what the inspectors find for a few weeks, and keep the existing wear, color, fire and safety tests in place.

How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
