Traditionally, the blending composition of a composite yams has been analyzed by human visual inspection, but such a method is time-consuming and inaccurate. In this study, we apply image processing techniques to analyzing cross sections of a PET/ Rayon composite yam, obtaining single fiber positions in the image with mask pro cessing. Fibers are recognized with four features: area, perimeter, compactness, and shape factor, and fiber distributions of cross sections of composite yarns are analyzed using three predefined index categories: the radial distribution index, the lateral distri bution index, and the angular distribution index.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
