Abstract

In this study, MATLAB 2018a software was used
to evaluate pilling grade of woven fabrics objectively. Experimental works were
carried out on the EMPA W3 standard photographs and accordingly two woven
fabrics. Equations were built based on the measurements of pill characteristics
and textural parameters of these photographs with the help of curve fitting
method after image processing steps. Intervals were generated for each fabric
by using slope of these equations and quantitative parameters obtained from the
original fabric. Furthermore, fabrics that were provided pilling formation at
different test turns were evaluated subjectively by expert operators. Objective
results corresponding to each parameter were analyzed comparatively with these
subjective results. The developed method was successful by using mean of matrix elements
from textural parameters and total area from pill characteristics.
