Abstract
The main aim of this contribution is description of a new approach for contact less evaluation of fabric surface hairiness. This approach is based on the image analysis of especially prepared fabric images. For obtaining the hairiness profile (total hairs area at distance from fabric surface relative to one centimetre length intervals) in the selected direction (on the line transect in the cross direction the fabric surface) the special arrangements of textile bend around sharp edge is realized. The image analysis is used for extraction of hairiness profile. The system of controlled movement allows obtaining hairiness profiles in two dimensions (hairiness in the set of selected places of the whole plane). From these results it is possible to estimate variability of hairiness in machine and cross directions. For characterization of surface hairiness variation in the plane, the so-called quadrate method is used. The applicability of this approach for fabric surface hairiness evaluation is demonstrated on the selected cotton type fabric.
Keywords: fabric hairiness evaluation, fabric profile, quadrate principle for data processing.
