Özet

Traditional methods involve extracting individual warp or weft yarns from the fabric in order to identify the weave repeat manually. This process can become tedious due to its manual nature. Therefore, automatic methods capable of identifying woven fabric repeat are utilized. These methods in general require complex algorithms and calculations. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a nondestructive and noncontact technique that allows high-resolution imaging. This paper describes the application of spectral domain optical coherence tomography imaging technique for identifying woven fabric repeat. We present the OCT scans of fabrics from which the weave matrixes were identified. We conclude that optical coherence tomography can be used to automatically recognize fabric weave patterns.
