Applying image analysis for measuring the density of historical textiles

The aim of this interdisciplinary research was to develop method of measuring density of yarns of historical textiles based on precisely captured digital micrographs. Such tool will minimize necessary handling of fragile textile artifacts and allow experts of different scientific disciplines (historians, technologists, conservation-restorers, etc.) to quickly and effectively determine key information for technical documentation of historical textiles. It will represent an alternative, but more favorable solution to analyse the yarn density of historical textiles fabrics rather than classical material decomposition method which involves microdestructive separation of individual yarns from fabric structure. The principal hypothesis established in this paper is that there is no difference between results of measuring fabric density with image analysis and with conventional methods. Conducted statistical analysis has proven that all test results for all comparisons showed that significance threshold has a value above (p>0.05), which means that the results of fabric density between manual and proposed method are statistically not significantly different therefore the initial hypothesis is being accepted.
