Novel segmentation algorithm for jacquard patterns based on multi‐view image fusion

Abstract

Pattern regeneration is one of the applications of reverse engineering technology in the textile field, which realises the process of textile‐pattern regeneration‐textile, and fundamentally provides an intelligent design means of textile. At present, the method of pattern regeneration in the jacquard fabric is to use the image segmentation algorithm to segment the image digitalised by unidirectional imaging, and then the segmented pattern could be identified to regeneration for the design of new fabrics. However, due to the concave and convex pattern textures on the surface of jacquard fabric, the traditional unidirectional imaging method cannot be used for the full characterisation of its structural information, resulting in unsatisfactory pattern segmentation effect. To solve this problem, a novel segmentation algorithm for jacquard patterns based on multi‐view image fusion was proposed in this study. Based on multi‐view image acquisition and fusion, the pattern image of jacquard fabric could be cluster‐segmented by extracting the complete texture information of the fused image and the actual colour information of the calibrated image. Compared with the traditional unidirectional imaging method, the experimental results show that the enhanced texture information of the fused image is more workable for the pattern segmentation, it validates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Research on the Design of Zhuang Brocade Patterns Based on Automatic Pattern Generation

“…Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) extract key features for classifying indigo textiles [4], quantitative aesthetics categorize Persian carpets [7], and the Canny method detects cryptogamic plant outlines [8]. The research also includes image segmentation algorithms for pattern redesign [9] and the automated extraction of silhouette costume patterns [10].…”

Complex Pattern Jacquard Fabrics Defect Detection Using Convolutional Neural Networks and Multispectral Imaging

“…In texture segmentation, the goal is to extract the texture or pattern from the jacquard fabrics. Different methods have been used in previous studies, such as: Mumford-Shah model [6], phase-field model [7,8], wavelet transform with K-means clustering [9,10], multiresolution Markov random field (MRF) modeling [11], and multi-view image fusion [12].…”
