Abstract

In regard to automatic quality inspection for label printings, a reference region is necessary for finding the region of interest. With such a reference region, the defects of the region of interest can be analysed. The reference region should be unique, stable and have a high contrast against the background. This paper proposes a method to automatically locate such a reference region. First, the maximally stable extremal regions method is used to obtain a series of regions, including reference regions and noisy regions. Next, a constrained model is established to filter out regions that are undesirable for use as reference regions. After that, to ensure all filtered regions are unique, a method to detect similar regions is applied based on shape-matching. Compared with other similarity measure methods, the shape-matching method shows better performance. Experiments on label images show the effectiveness and stability of our algorithm. The proposed method provides a new way for quality inspection of label printings in an industrial setting.
