The method is verified by a series of simulated nonwoven images as well as some real web images used previously, including a carded web, a relatively dense spunbonded fabric, and another relatively open area-bonded spunbonded. The results indicate that the distance transform can be used successfully to characterize fiber diameter. }, number={4}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Pourdeyhimi, B and Dent, R}, year={1999}, month={Apr}, pages={233–236} }
 @article{pourdehyhimi_dent_jerbi_tanaka_deshpande_1999, title={Measuring fiber orientation in nonwovens Part V: Real webs}, volume={69}, ISSN={["0040-5175"]}, DOI={10.1177/004051759906900305}, abstractNote={ This paper extends the work of the first four parts of this series to apply the image analysis methods we have developed to characterize the fiber orientation of real non woven fabrics. The "real" fabrics chosen as typical are a carded crimped fiber web, two relatively dense overall or area bonded fabrics, a pattern or point bonded spun bonded-meltblown-spunbonded fabric, and a lightweight spunbonded nonwoven. In order to deal with real webs, it is necessary to develop a lighting system to give images with sufficient contrast along with an appropriate thresholding method to yield data suitable for analysis. The results indicate that the chord tracking method can charac terize orientation reliably when a direct measure is needed, and the information can be used to characterize and compare nonwoven laydown processes. }, number={3}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Pourdehyhimi, B and Dent, R and Jerbi, A and Tanaka, S and Deshpande, A}, year={1999}, month={Mar}, pages={185–192} }

In a series of papers, we plan to explore the viability of image analysis algorithms for characterizing fiber orientation. In the first part of this series, we present a simulation scheme to produce images to test these different algorithms. As part of the series, we will present a direct tracking method in Part II, as well as Fourier and flow field analyses in subsequent parts for characterizing fiber orientation. }, number={11}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Pourdeyhimi, B and Ramanathan, R and Dent, R}, year={1996}, month={Nov}, pages={713–722} }
