In this paper, the eight parameter two-dimensional adaptive lattice filter is used to detect defects in textures corresponding to raw textile fabrics. A novel histogram modification technique is also applied for pre-processing the grey level texture image. Moreover, with the proposed scheme, it is possible to detect defects using the defective image only.

Given the dynamic and harsh environments of electronic textile applications, particularly wearable computers and large-scale sensor networks, fault-tolerance is necessary. The interconnection network should route around faults in communication links and processing nodes. The mechanisms of error detection and route change decisions will be presented. Simulation results of the full network are re...

BACKGROUND A wide variety of specialty textiles are used in health care settings for bedding, clothing, and privacy. The ability of textiles to host or otherwise sequester microbes has been well documented; however, their reciprocal potential for liberating airborne bacteria remains poorly characterized. In response, a multi-season survey of bacterial bioaerosols was conducted in the origin and...

Abstract We present recent results from an EPSRC funded project VirTex (Virtual Textile Catalogues). The goal of this project is to develop graphics and image-processing software for the capture, storage, search, retrieval and visualisation of 3D textile samples. The ultimate objective is to develop a webbased application that allows the user to search a database for suitable textiles and to vi...

Technological developments are key to the future success of the textile industry. The future requires entirely new manufacturing processes. There has been a remarkable change in the entire fabric manufacturing process with the implementation of computer programming and processing. Latest textile CAD/CAM systems and other technological developments have given a substantial boost to the manufactu...
