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 ...

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 ...

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. ...
