【Invited Lecture】Image Processing for Textile Production and Design

Abstract

The invention of Jacquard loom in the early 19th century made a great influence for the birth of information science, and the image processing technology contributes to the development of jacquard textile in recent years. Since design process of jacquard weaving basically consists of editing binary data; over-under relationship of warp and weft yarns, image processing technology has a validity for upgrading them. This article describes an overview of the history of textile and information technology with examples of the study extending over both fields, and the possibility of image processing for future textile production and design.
