- Abstract
- A wavelet-fractal method to calculate the fractal dimension is proposed to objectively
evaluate the surface roughness of fabric wrinkle, smoothness appearance and seam
pucker. The proposed method was validated using the fractal surfaces produced from the
mathematical functions and compared with the box and cube counting methods. The more
accurate three-dimensional mesh grid data points of wrinkle replicas, smoothness appearance replicas and seam pucker samples were obtained using a three-dimensional, noncontact scanning system. As a supplementary reference the standard roughness parameters,
which differentiate the degree of fabric surface roughness, were also investigated.
The results show that the fractal dimension measured by the wavelet-fractal method as
well as the surface average mean curvature show the power to clearly discern the grades
of wrinkle, smoothness appearance as well as seam pucker, and thus can evaluate the
fabric surface roughness objectively and quantitatively
