Image-based evaluation of seam puckering appearance

bstract. We present the development of an objective evaluation ethod based on the integration of X-illumination, morphological ractal analysis and Bayes classifier that aims at characterizing the eam-puckering appearance. The experimental results in our reearch demonstrate that a highly significant correlation coefficient an be achieved between the estimated grades and the technicianenerated grades; the presented method is insensitive to the color/ exture of fabrics, thus showing the potential use of our newly deeloped method to evaluate the seam-puckering appearance bjectively and quantitatively. © 2008 SPIE and S&T.
