Abstract:
1. A method comprising: executing rating software on a computer to automatically assign a discrete rating label for a non-uniform pattern to each of a plurality of training images and compute a classification model based on the rating labels assigned to the training samples, wherein the rating software receives input from a user for only a subset of the training images and computes the rating labels for all of the remaining training images based upon the input; processing in real-time a sample image captured from a manufactured web material with hardware components of a pipelined graphical processing unit (GPU) integrated within a computerized inspection system to extract a first plurality of features from the image in parallel; and computing a severity level for the non-uniformity pattern for the sample image of the web material with the computerized inspection system from the first plurality of features in accordance with the classification model.
