Novel online fabric color difference detection system based on machine vision.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Color difference detection remains a critical challenge in textile manufacturing, where traditional visual inspection and offline measurement methods suffer from subjectivity, low efficiency, and delayed feedback. This study emphasizes engineering integration for online industrial fabric inspection rather than proposing a single new color-difference algorithm. The proposed system integrates a custom-designed optical acquisition platform with a lightweight color analysis pipeline, including bilateral filtering for noise suppression, K-means clustering for representative color extraction, RGB-to-CIELab color space conversion, and perceptually weighted [Formula: see text] computation. The system was deployed on an actual textile production line and evaluated using ten fabric rolls with different colors and materials. Experimental results show roll-level agreement with manual inspection in the tested samples and indicate the feasibility of continuous monitoring of chromatic variations along the fabric length. The proposed system provides a practical engineering solution for automated textile color quality control and may support production-line decision making while reducing dependence on subjective visual inspection in industrial environments.
