Fiber length measurement by image processing
TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL, 71(10), 905–910.
To act as an alternative to existing systems, image-based fiber length measurements must yield precise results in a reasonable amount of processing time. To be used as a calibration device for current systems, the processing time becomes less important than accuracy and precision. Here, we report on the accuracy and precision of image processing applications compared with existing methods of HVI, AFIS, and hand measurements. Further, we propose preferred system parameters for these two possible applications of the technology.
