Generic object detection algorithms for natural images have been proven to have excellent performance. 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.
