Abstract:

A digital image processing approach was developed to evaluate fabric structure characteristics and to recognise the weave pattern utilising a Wiener filter. Images of six different groups were obtained and used for analysis. The groups included three different fabric structures with two different constructions for each. The approach developed decomposed the fabric image into two images, each of which included either warp or weft yarns. Yarn boundaries were outlined to evaluate the fabric surface characteristics and further used to identify the areas of interlaces to detect the fabric structure. The results showed success in evaluating the surface fabric characteristics and detecting the fabric structure for types of fabrics having the same colors of warp and weft yarns. The approach was also able to obtain a more accurate evaluation for yarn spacing and the rational fabric cover factor compared to the analytical techniques used to estimate these characteristics.
