Pilling Definition (fill in the blank)

- The pilling of textile materials fabrics refers to an                         caused by bunches or balls of                                held to the surface. This                       appearance can seriously compromise the     fabrics acceptability for apparel.

-          are developed on a                         in four main stages: fuzz formation, entanglement,          growth, and wear-off

The 2D imaging method is to perform pill detection using image segmentation, the process of partitioning the original image into multiple segments including fabric background and pills. Aimed at determining parameters such as the number and the density of pills and/or the area occupied by the pills on the fabric surface.

An image has been taken from a fabric surface and used a Fourier mask to filter the knitted stitch background from the fuzz and pill.

Fourier mask has been used to filter the knitted stitch background from the fuzz and pill. A pilling measurement cabinet was specifically designed and developed

Captured images were analyzed using appositely developed software based on thresholding and various pilling parameters such as the total number of pills, the total area of the pills, mean area and number of pills per unit area are measured
