Abstract: To automatic detect and characterize paper impurities with computer vision, we present a novel two parts evaluation procedure with feature representations using Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) sparse codes. The method is based on an offline training step to obtain sparse coefficients and codebooks via learning extracted features with ADMM optimization, followed by an online detection step to use linear SVM classifier to assess defective paper samples from non-defective ones. Our approach bridges the gap between paper impurities evaluation and sparse feature representations, taking advantages of existing ADMM algorithms to handle sparse codes problem. We compare different feature descriptors and sparse code methods to implement the procedure and experimentally validate it on a dataset of 11 paper classes. Experiment results show that the proposed method is competitive and effective in terms of evaluation accuracy and speed.
