Abstract

Image analysis method was applied to evaluate the evenness of various nonwoven fabrics. Binder-bonded nonwoven fabrics were used for this research. Images of nonwoven fabrics were scanned and stored into 256 gray scale system. At first, the effects of scanning condition on evaluating the evenness of areal density ($g/m^2$) of nonwoven fabrics were investigated. A coefficient of variation of gray values was used as an evaluation factor. In previous evaluation, the variation means the variance of weight in unit area. In this study, however, it means the variances of gray values obtained from the pixels on the fabric images. This research verified that the coefficient of variation of gray values was proper factor to evaluate the evenness of areal density of nonwoven fabrics.
