title: Weave-repeat identification by structural analysis of fabric images.
abstract: Two descriptions of the image of a web structure, a convolution model and an additive model, in both the spatial and frequency domains, are combined in the design of a method to extract information about the fabric structure by image analysis. The method allows the extraction of the conventional and also the minimal weave repeats, their size in terms of number of threads, their interlacing patterns, and their patterns of repetition. It is applicable to fabrics with square and nonsquare conventional weave repeat. Experimental results with image of real samples are presented and discussed.
