Study on Wicking Measurement in Thin Layer Textiles by Processing Digital Images

Authors

Abstract:

The purpose of this work is to assess and develop experimental techniques that allowwicking measurement over a wide range of textiles. Various kinds of fabrics, nonwoven layers and anelectro spinning nylon layer were used as the test materials. A syringe is used to drop a 0.02 g spot ofdistilled water on the sample and a digital camera to take pictures simultaneously. When the wickingprocess stops, the images are processed and the increase in wicking area is measured using Matlab 7.4and a set of image processing tools. It is shown that the newly developed technique is able to test thewicking behavior of various kinds of textiles with different thickness.

Processing Digital Image for Measurement of Crack Dimensions in Concrete

The elements of the concrete structure are most frequently affected by cracking. Crack detection is essential to ensure safety and performance during its service life. Cracks do not have a regular shape, in order to achieve the exact dimensions of the crack; the general mathematical formulae are by no means applicable. The authors have proposed a new method which aims to measure the crack dimen...

Hidden Digital Watermarks in Images - Image Processing, IEEE Transactions on

In this paper, an image authentication technique by embedding digital “watermarks” into images is proposed. Watermarking is a technique for labeling digital pictures by hiding secret information into the images. Sophisticated watermark embedding is a potential method to discourage unauthorized copying or attest the origin of the images. In our approach, we embed the watermarks with visually rec...

Digital Image Processing in Ultrasound Images

Image processing plays a vital role in the development of medical industry especially ultrasound medical images. Image acquisition is carried out using ultrasound equipments like transducer, scanner, and CPU and display device. There are mainly four modes of ultrasound imaging A-mode, M-mode, B-mode and Doppler-mode. Ultrasound imaging plays crucial role in medical imaging due to its non-invasi...

Patterns of Flow –like Images Revealed by Digital Image Processing

Automatic Systems to fluid flow visualization can help in solution of several Fluid Dynamic Phenomena. Usually, these systems can be concerned of three fundamental steps: data acquisition, processing and result display. There are several ways to achieve the first step, which can be grouped as follows: simulation of mathematics elements, and detection/description of fluid flow patterns character...
