A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OBJECTIVE MEASUREMENT OF FABRIC APPEARANCE USING DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING

摘要

The objective measurement of fabric appearance is mainly comprises drape, pilling, texture, & wrinkle parameters of the fabric. These parameters are determined by using digital image processing and finally obtaining the Fabric Appearance Index (FAI). The apparatus used for this purpose are drape meter jmage acquisition system, wrinkle simulator and image acquisition device to decide (FAI) of fabric sample. Uptil now it was obtained subjectively by a team of expert evaluators which is assessed objectively by the invented method and apparatus.
