C. Ciamberlini et al., DEFECT DETECTION IN TEXTURED MATERIALS BY OPTICAL FILTERING WITH STRUCTURED DETECTORS AND SELF-ADAPTABLE MASKS, Optical engineering, 35(3), 1996, pp. 838-844
An optical method using Fourier transformation and spatial filtering i
s used to reveal defects in textured materials in real time. New optic
al structured filter types were developed including a self-adaptable m
ask made of photochromic polymers. The characteristics of these materi
als make possible very promising applications in pattern recognition s
uch as that represented by a fabric. (C) 1996 Society of Photo-Optical
