Abstract :
Describes a transputer-based image processing system developed at Sheffield University which can be used for real-time measurement of industrial fabrics. The vision system allows unblurred images of a fabric to be captured and analysed while the fabric is being produced. The problem of using the measurements thus gained in a suitably designed feedback system to give computer control of the weaving process is discussed
