Study of Fabric Movement and Influenced of Drape Measurement Based on Image Processing Using MATLAB

Generally, Drape meter for assessment of fabric drape is used in textile industry. In this paper, Image processing technique for measuring drape profile of apparel fabric has been studied and developed using MATLAB as well as modeled the fabric movement influenced of the fabric strength fort a certain mass. A modified method based on conventional drape meter was researched to determine drape parameter. Drape coefficient was selected to compare the conventional result (a standard device used in industry based on SNI ISO 08- 1511- 2004) and image processing result. In this research, a very good correlation has been found both conventional and image processing technique.
