2.1 System Interface and Function
Maps and figures Statistical results
The graphics user interface (GUI) of the visible Gray image Value of thick place
evaluation system for digital yarn appearance quality is Binary image Value of thin place
shown in Figure 2. In this system, users can carry out the Hairiness image Value of neps
yarn image processing and appearance classification by a Histogram Mean value of diameter
series of simple operations, and then the figures and relevant Width map Standard deviation of diameter
features of the digital yarn image can be displayed visibly. Saliency map Value of hairiness
As shown in Figure 3, the main steps of the Digital Yarn In addition, the system also provides online help for
Surface Grading System are, firstly, to acquire the yarn image users, including the user guide (Demo button), flow chat of
using a commercial scanner, next to load the image into the the program (Flow Chart button) and the digital yarn
system, then to conduct the yarn image processing, and database for training the artificial neural network (Database
finally to classify the yarn appearance grade. button).
