A system and method for identifying line Mura defects on a display. The system is configured to generate a filtered image by preprocessing an input image of a display using at least one filter. The system then identifies line Mura candidates by converting the filtered image to a binary image, counting line components along a slope in the binary image, and marking a potential candidate location when the line components along the slope exceed a line threshold. Image patches are then generated with the candidate locations at the center of each image patch. The image patches are then classified using a machine learning classifier.
