Polarimetric Sensing Technique for Textile Material
The identification and measuring of geometrical dimensions of very small objects including textile is the biggest achievement of the image processing techniques. Not only the analysis of the basic structure of yarn like hairiness, thickness and number of twist but also the external structural analysis like twist parameters and linear density co-efficient is possible with outstanding approach of image analysis new techniques. Dyed polyester samples by using different dyestuffs were examined with the polarized light with the help of optical light microscopy. It was observed that the dyestuffs possess strong dichroism and the relationship between dichroism and the concentration of dyestuff was examined. Dark field and Bright field illuminations together with imaging polarimetry are compared in terms of depth of field tolerance and image quality. Experiments show that passive imaging polarimetry illumination is superior in terms of depth of field tolerance and contrast allowing significant improvement of textile structure investigation.
