Applying Image Analysis for Automatic Density Measurement of High-tightness Woven Fabrics
Journal Title: Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe - Year 2016, Vol 24, Issue 2
Abstract
To realise the density measurement of high-tightness woven fabrics, an efficient inspection method based on the structure relation is developed in this paper. The structure relations of typical HTWF, twill and satin weave are analyzed and a calculation equation of warp density is given with the fabric weave, weft density and wale density. In the experiment, the weft and wale densities are measured with the Fourier transform, image reconstruction and threshold processing based on separately captured images. The warp density is finally calculated based on the mean value of wale and weft density and the given calculation equation constructed with the weave pattern. The experimental results prove that the automatic measurement density system can realize the precise measurement of high-tightness woven fabric density with satisfactory precision and can replace the current manual analysis method.
