“…The structuring element is the template used to perform the morphological operation, characterized by size and shape. The disk-shaped structuring element is suggested to process fabrics as their pore shape is close to being round (Detert and Weitbrecht, 2012;Chen and Cheng, 2021). The shape used in the study is a disk shape, as displayed in Figure 2-2.…”

Pore size is one of the significant factors influencing fabric performance, such as comfort and protection. The reliable measurement of pore size is fundamental to studying fabric structure and performance. Image processing is the popular method to characterize pore size because of its convenience and efficiency. However, there is no standard procedure to retrieve pores from fabric images. Furthermore, many uncertainties exist when deciding on critical thresholds, making the process subjective and less comparable. The study proposed a standardized workflow to determine the pore size and the distribution of knitted fabrics using image processing. The major contributions include discussing the impact of structuring element size on fabric structure, suggesting an objective way to select the optimal structuring element size, and proposing an approach to isolate noise pores. As a result, the measurement of pore size using image processing is more accurate and reliable, reflecting the true pore size distribution of fabrics, establishing a solid foundation for producing qualified fabrics. Moreover, the proposed method includes specific steps for image processing and objective criteria for selecting thresholds, enabling the generation of computer algorithms that automatically process fabric images on a large scale, making it more efficient and saving labor, time, and money.

“…This term is associated with making a dot or wax drip on fabric or cloth. Batik is Malayan (the written language of Indonesia and Malaysia) which means, "to write", or "to dot", and is part of the process of creating designs and patterns on batiks [6]. Widagdo et al [7], contend that historical evidence reveals that the oldest batik culture comes from Egypt.…”

This paper investigates the socio-cultural challenges of the small-scale batik and tie-dye production and retailing industry in Ghana. The research is based on a qualitative research approach that employs interviews and observation for data collection. In all, sixteen (16) participants were sampled through purposive techniques. Data collected were transcribed, classified and analysed through thematic and descriptive analysis. The study found that family roles contradict the business role, pressure from family members, poor support from society members, some religious teachings, age, ethnicity and lifestyle of certain people among others. The study concludes that socio-cultural challenges have led to the collapse of most batik and tie-dye production and retailing sectors leaving thousands of Ghanaians jobless. It recommends among others that producers and retailers of batik and tie-dye must separate family roles from work responsibilities to enable them to perform effectively. Again, family members, parents and peers must desist from putting pressure on the entrepreneurs for freebies and the government must resource NBSSI, GEPA and GSB to have regular in-service training to batik and tie-dye producers and retailers to address poor financial management and technical challenges and also on product quality on the international market.

“…Among many methods for edge detection, Canny edge detector 23,24 is the one of the most popular operators by using a multi-stage algorithm to detect a wide range of target edges with precious methodology. But there is a possible defect that when Gaussian filter is used for noise reduction it will also smooth the edge feature and moreover it has high complexity when operation.…”

Simulation evaluation of knitted mesh structure using morphological operations

High-quality simulation of fabric structural features is significant for realizing the morphological prediction of nonuniform mesh structures and building numerical simulation of physical properties. For lace textiles which have hundreds and thousands of variable meshes, an objective and unified standard to evaluate structural deformation is quite challenging. It needs to comprehensively and quantitatively conclude a result, instead of visual and subjective judgment. Therefore, this paper proposed an image-based method to mathematically solve accuracy by comparing morphological features from both simulation result and real fabric photograph. Jacquardtronic lace textiles were fabricated as experimental samples. Based on morphological expansion and corrosion algorithms, non-characteristic lapping details were eroded from binary images with only featured single-pixel contours of irregular meshes. Shape descriptor of each featured image was represented by a moment vector of seven Hu invariant moments. Then the morphological vectors of both simulated and real fabric images were substituted into a defined equation of similarity measurement. This image-based evaluation model effectively avoids defects of subjective visual observation and geometric measurement methods.
