“…Extension of our method to fabrics made up of multiple colors is a promising future task. Although the resolution and color repeatability of generated patterns in multiple colors are worse than those of the same pattern in grayscale, we can simply split the original image into RGB or CMYK channels, binarize the image in each channel, and combine them [29]. By binarizing multiple channel images at the same time, more appropriate masks will be selected.…”

With jacquard fabric, designers can create complex patterns by freely defining the over-under relationships between warp yarns and weft yarns at each grid point or intersections in the fabric. Binary images are one way of representing the over-under relationships of warp and weft yarns at the grid points in a fabric pattern; an image requires an optimal number of warp-weft intersections-not too many, not too few-to produce a weave with both aesthetic and functional merits. This study proposes a method for generating jacquard fabric patterns that reproduce the visual impressions of given input images on jacquard fabric. Our method makes it possible to assign specific fabric dither masks to individual regions. These fabric dither masks can preserve the overall tone of the input image in the dithered image while appropriately controlling the number of warp-weft intersections in the pattern. As the fabric dither masks give users a considerable degree of freedom in defining texture frequencies and directional properties, the proposed method captures the visual impression of a given input image by enabling users to apply fabric dither masks to match textural features-either automatically or interactively. The former approach involves assigning the mask with the closest textural resemblance to each target region, ultimately producing a fabric pattern with a tone and texture that matches the input image. The interactive approach, meanwhile, provides the designer with an interactive interface for assigning masks. This allows designers to experiment with different expressions and track their progress visually, emphasizing or subduing specific areas at their own discretion.

“…However, the total number of accessible weave variety (T) is estimated by Equation (1) as a total number of interlacing points is gradually occupied when a regular number of interlacement enhancement (E) is applied to a weave repeat (W) (Ng, Kim, Hu & Zhou, 2014 When the four split colour layers (Figure 3) are aligned with a shaded weave series, each greyscale level in a layer is used as a standard to select a proper shaded weave in a series.

This study aims to propose optimal weaving conditions for creation of natural shading effect in woven textiles. By applying the weave structure and pattern theories, the two core parts of weaving are explored and examined towards improving realisation of gradient weave colours.When planning experiments, weave repeat sizes from 12-to 30-thread are created into a shaded weave series and compounded in multi-weft figuring method. In terms of weave pattern, a colour spectrum image is designed and its split primary colour layers (e.g. cyan, magenta, yellow and black) are employed as weave pattern. In conjunction with varied weaving conditions, a colour spectrum image is reproduced in 19 different woven forms. In this study, comparative analysis is approached based on the samples resulted from trials and the practical research is explained in details of weave structure and weave pattern specifications to propose the core principle of establishing gradient colour deviation.

“…When developing satin-based shaded weave series, an attainable total weave variety ( T ) is estimated by Equation (1), 7 as an interlacement enhancement ( E ) is equally made each time with a common multiple of a weave repeat ( WR ). For example, when the 18-thread of a weave repeat is used for creating a shaded weave series with nine interlacement enhancements, the total achievable weaves are expected as 33 varieties.…”

Digital Jacquard textiles have been introduced through various approaches to the capability enhancement of color expression and novel design proposition in modern weaving. Because of its a wide scope of weave colors with a small number of fillings, the basic weave structure of satin is widely adopted in the creation of shaded weave series, as they are highly reliable in presenting the natural color shading with maximized luster. However, its surface texture is limited with consistent traverse lines attributed to regular stitching points in their structure combination. Therefore, a new silhouette of shaded weave series is proposed and explored with twills to enlarge and vary the woven texture effects. The shading effect with single twills will be presented in a linear and contrasting way; when small twill lines are cut and replaced, the converted format will enable the creation of a varied surface touch. By finding the base marks where the total interlacement of a repeat is proportionally divided, small twill lines are transformed by adding interweaving points to build into a series. Furthermore, the basic principles received from satin-based shaded series are applied to the achievement of gradient shading effects. In terms of weave pattern design, each color layer is individually designed with levels of grayscales and defines each color region and color density to achieve a high-quality color presentation, as well as a unique texture.
