Detection of defect on finished fabrics and their classification based on their appearance plays a vital role in inspection of both hand-woven and machine woven fabrics. Generally the defect detection process is carried out by making use of the manual effort, during which some of fabric defects are very small and undistinguishable and can be identified only by monitoring the variation in the in...

Jute is a strong, stiff, natural fiber. When blended with cotton it makes a sturdy but prickly fabric due to protruding surface jute fibers. Samples of jute-cotton blended fabric were treated with commercial cellulases, xylanases and pectinases individually and in combination at various concentrations in order to smooth and soften the fabric. Enzyme treatment was carried out at 50°C in the pres...

UNLABELLED Pattern recognition is a key tool that enables radiologists to evoke certain diagnoses based on a radiologic appearance. In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Polonius tells his son Laertes to dress well because "apparel oft proclaims the man"; this phrase is now expressed in modern parlance as "the clothes maketh the man". Similarly in radiology, appearances are everything, and in the case of ra...

Amongst the different property parameters of the produced fabric, drapeability of fabric is one of the crucial parameters with respect to end uses. It is the ability of fabric to hang freely in graceful folds when some area of it is supported over a surface and the rest is unsupported. During the application of different fabrics, both in industrial and apparel sector, it has been observed that ...

Abstract Seersucker woven fabrics are characterized by their unique structure and properties. Surface topography is a crucial feature of the seersucker fabrics. It influences appearance performance Till now, no testing method has been developed to assess from point view surface geometry quantify effect. In present work, non-contact optical used determine parameters functions characterizing cott...

Reconfigurable computing devices have achieved substantial performance improvements over conventional processors on some computational kernels. These benefits derive from hardware customization which avoids the mismatch between the basic requirements of the algorithms and the architectures of the processors. A reconfigurable fabric alone is not sufficient for general-purpose computing since it ...
