Cotton is an important crop throughout the world, and its quality plays a significant role in its
profitability and marketability. Foreign matter in cotton can cause damage to spinning …

The annual demand for fibres continues to rise worldwide. Consequently, more and more
fibres must be produced to meet this demand, most of which are melt-spun polymeric man …

Mulch film is usually mixed in with cotton during machine-harvesting and processing, which
reduces the cotton quality. This paper presents a novel sorting algorithm for the online …

In the textile industry, different types of foreign fibers may be mixed in cotton that need to be
sorted out to ensure the quality of the final cotton textile products. Automated visual …

Foreign fibers in cotton seriously affect the quality of cotton products. The identification of
foreign fibers in cotton is a critical step in the automated inspection of foreign fibers in cotton; …

Digital image analysis techniques in the spatial and frequency domains for twist
measurement of yarns are described. A spatial technique is developed to extract the twist …

The production of polyamide fibers by various spinning techniques yields fibers with a
variety of microstructures. The chemical, physical and mechanical properties of these fibers …

The current techniques in the textile industry cannot efficiently remove polypropylenes,
packing materials and black-pigmented fibres from wool. Their presence reduces the value …

Yarn evenness is usually obtained with capacitive systems evaluating mass per unit length
variations. More recently, optical sensors have been proposed. In this paper, we present …

Yarn tension is an important parameter for assuring textile quality. In this paper, an optical
method to measure microtension of moving yarn automatically in the winding system is …
