Abstract

In principle, the orange skin surface defect can be successfully detected with the use of a set of relatively simple image processing techniques. To assess the technical possibilities of classifying relatively small surfaces the Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) and the Support Vector Machine were used for two sets of about 400 surface patches in each. Color, grey and binarized images were used in tests. For grey images the worst classification accuracy was 91% and for binarized images it was 99%. For color image the results were generally worse. The experiments have shown that the cell size in the HOG feature extractor should be not more than 4 by 4 pixels which corresponds to 0.12 by \(0.12\,\)mm on the object surface.
