The density of fabric is a very important parameter in many fabric production processes. However, in the textile fabrication factories, textile density measurement process has been done inefficiently by handicraft. Thus, exact textile density measurement process is necessary to fabricate high quality textile through weft straighten. In this paper, we propose an automatic textile density measurement system to measure textile density automatically and to improve fabrication efficiency. The proposed system uses cylindrical lens to optically scan the weftl information of the fabric as well as convex lens to enlarge the weft images. The proposed system improves textile quality and provides constant density value to the whole textile range in the high speed fabrication process.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the design methods and characteristics of papercraft fashion from 2001 to 2015. The study has been conducted through theoretical research and case study. Overall, types of papercraft expressions are classified into the following four categories: narrative papercraft fashion, organic papercraft fashion, variable papercraft fashion, and recycling papercraft fashion. The characteristics and aspects of each type of papercraft is described below. First, narrative papercraft fashion expresses as factual description of the natural environment. These works convey fantastic image by showing fairy tale animals or plants using paper folding or cutting. Second, organic papercraft fashion creates a futuristic shape by expressing organic parts in nature. Also, it often depicts future-oriented images by repeatedly representing organic shapes using uniform patterns in nature. Third, variable papercraft fashion expresses a variety of changing shapes through a flexible design based on the style of wearing. This variation may be accomplished through changeable dress connected to human gestures. Variable papercraft represents play-fulness, which conveys enjoyment to the wearer and the audience. Fourth, recycling papercraft fashion uses paper materials of the past, and recreates them into artworks through handicraft techniques.
