In this paper, fabric defect detection on optical image datasets is systematically studied. In contrast to generic datasets, defect images are multi-scale, noise-filled, and blurred. Back-light intensity would also be sensitive for visual perception. Large-scale fabric defect datasets are collected, selected, and employed to fulfill the requirements of detection in industrial practice in order to address these imbalanced issues. An improved two-stage defect detector is constructed for achieving better generalization. Stacked feature pyramid networks are set up to aggregate cross-scale defect patterns on interpolating mixed depth-wise block in stage one. By sharing feature maps, center-ness and shape branches merges cascaded modules with deformable convolution to filter and refine the proposed guided anchors. After balanced sampling, the proposals are down-sampled by position-sensitive pooling for region of interest, in order to characterize interactions among fabric defect images in stage two. The experiments show that the end-to-end architecture improves the occluded defect performance of region-based object detectors as compared with the current detectors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20030871","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,7]],"date-time":"2020-02-07T03:13:27Z","timestamp":1581045207000},"page":"871","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Automatic Fabric Defect Detection Using Cascaded Mixed Feature Pyramid with Guided Localization"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"You","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Precision Measuring Technology &amp; Instruments, Centre of Micro\/Nano Manufacturing Technology\u2014MNMT, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}]},{"given":"Xiaodong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Precision Measuring Technology &amp; Instruments, Centre of Micro\/Nano Manufacturing Technology\u2014MNMT, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8716-5988","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fengzhou","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Precision Measuring Technology &amp; Instruments, Centre of Micro\/Nano Manufacturing Technology\u2014MNMT, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4033","DOI":"10.1109\/TII.2018.2881341","article-title":"Wavelet Integrated Alternating Sparse Dictionary Matrix Decomposition in Thermal Imaging CFRP Defect Detection","volume":"5","author":"Ahmed","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
