Defect detection system
WebSpector, Shelton’s machine vision inspection system is an automated solution to provide unequalled surface defect detection.
Shelton WebSpector machine vision technology allows faults on fabric to be identified and categorised. Our machine vision applications will identify defects and segment them into bespoke classifications. Image segmentation refers to the process of dividing an image into groups with similar characteristics.
This type of classification is hard to maintain with manual inspection. Human inspection is a tiring process especially at high speeds. The Shelton WebSpector system is capable of detecting fabrics defects with more accuracy and efficiency.
