A reputed technical institution is
offering a technology for manufact-uring cotton contamination
analyser. Fibre neps, trash particles and seedcoat fragments
are visible foreign matters in cotton. These foreign matters
affect yarn quality and fabric appearance often leading to
huge value loss. The Cotton Contamination Analyser developed
is based on state-of-the-art digital image processing technique
devel-oped to distinguish between trash, seedcoat fragments,
fibre neps in the cotton fibrous web and to provide information
in terms of their size and number in tabular and graphical
form. The technology is now in the process of commercialisation.
It can be made use
for building a suitable system for the on-line application
jointly with a manufacturer.
