Measuring linear density of threads in single‐system‐mélange color fabrics with FCM algorithm

Measuring linear density of threads in single‐system‐mélange color fabrics with FCM algorithm According to the color yarns in the fabric, the fabrics can be divided into three categories: solid color fabrics, single‐system‐mélange color fabrics, and double‐system‐mélange color fabrics. The density of solid fabrics can be inspected with gray‐projection method or Fourier analysis method. But the methods cannot be applied to yarn‐dyed fabrics directly. A method for detecting the density of single‐system‐mélange color fabrics will be discussed in this article. By analyzing the pattern and color characters of single‐system‐mélange color fabrics, fuzzy C‐means algorithm is proposed to classify the colors in the fabric image based on CIELAB color space first. With the color segmentation results, the fabric can be divided into different blocks. The yarns can be located in different blocks with different average gray‐levels, and then the number of yarns can be counted in each block. The linear density of threads can be obtained by counting the yarns in a unit length finally.

Abstract

According to the color yarns in the fabric, the fabrics can be divided into three categories: solid color fabrics, single‐system‐mélange color fabrics, and double‐system‐mélange color fabrics. The density of solid fabrics can be inspected with gray‐projection method or Fourier analysis method. But the methods cannot be applied to yarn‐dyed fabrics directly. A method for detecting the density of single‐system‐mélange color fabrics will be discussed in this article. By analyzing the pattern and color characters of single‐system‐mélange color fabrics, fuzzy C‐means algorithm is proposed to classify the colors in the fabric image based on CIELAB color space first. With the color segmentation results, the fabric can be divided into different blocks. The yarns can be located in different blocks with different average gray‐levels, and then the number of yarns can be counted in each block. The linear density of threads can be obtained by counting the yarns in a unit length finally. The experiment proved that the algorithm proposed in this study can inspect the density of single‐system‐mélange color fabric successfully. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
