In this research, we validate an imaging system for automatic grading of fabric smoothness, developed at Texas Tech University. This system consists of a sheet-of-light, laser-line projector; a smart CMOS camera; a moving ...

Technologies currently used for cotton contaminant assessment suffer from some fundamental limitations. These limitations result in the misassessment of the cotton quality, and have a serious impact on its economic value. ...

Two cotton fabrics were treated with increasing amounts of a textile-finishing agent (l,3-dimethyl·4,5- dihydroxy-2-imidazolidinone) to impart durable press properties. The Universal Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform ...

We present a novel statistical approach to unsupervised detection and localization of a chromatic defect in a uniformly textured background. The test images are probabilistically modeled using Gaussian mixture models, and ...
