Simulation of Fabric Surface Pattern by Using Yarn Surface Database

Abstract

By Computer Aided Design System (CAD) for yarn dyed fabrics, fabric patterns are displayed quickly and realistically on the screen and printed onto the color printer, so as to confirm and examine the final design of woven fabrics.
However there still are several problems in the precise image reproduction of woven fabrics, which the designer plan to weave.
In this study, the several types of fabrics with difficulties were imulated exactly by he use of 3D inference method, yarn surface database and image addition technique.
