Overview of TexVision

TexVision is a Tasrela innovation project that empowers learners to design and build machine vision systems for detecting defects in textile fabrics. The project simulates a real industrial problem — how to maintain consistent fabric quality while reducing manual inspection costs.

Learners use cameras, lighting setups, and embedded processors to capture and analyze textile images, training AI models to identify common issues like broken threads, stains, holes, or color irregularities.

TexVision Overview

Core Objectives

  • Introduce learners to computer vision workflows and real-time defect detection systems.
  • Apply deep learning techniques for on-device image analysis and decision-making.
  • Promote innovation — enabling participants to develop and deploy small-scale automated inspection setups.
  • Reduce waste and inefficiency in textile production through early defect detection.

Learning Path

  1. Introduction to Fabric Inspection and Quality Parameters
  2. Data Acquisition – Setting up Cameras, Lighting, and Fabric Motion
  3. Building and Annotating a Textile Defect Dataset
  4. Training Machine Vision Models for Defect Classification
  5. Deploying Models on Embedded Platforms (e.g., Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano)
  6. Designing Dashboards for Monitoring and Analytics

Key Skills Gained

  • Machine vision and image processing
  • Embedded systems integration
  • AI model training and optimization
  • Data annotation and dataset management
  • Prototype development for small-scale industrial systems

Why It Matters

Textile inspection remains one of the most labor-intensive steps in manufacturing. By automating this process through locally developed machine vision tools, TexVision helps reduce production waste, increase quality consistency, and open new avenues for innovation.

The project demonstrates Tasrela’s mission to connect learning, design, and livelihood — where learners build tools that solve real industry challenges while developing employable and entrepreneurial skills.
