Sažetak
Paper manufacturing process parameters affect properties of the finished sheet in various ways. This work deals with the use of ImageJ for the frequency domain processing of a paper sheet image to distinguish between the paper formation uniformity and regular structures in the paper*. The described properties have an impact on the behavior of the paper substrate in the converting and printing processes, as they contribute to the overall quality of the paper, its properties and printability. The analysis is performed using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) processing. Modification of the FFT power spectrum and filtering of the light-transmission images of paper, obtained by a flat-bed scanner, allows identification and separation of two distinct phenomena: the paper sheet formation (uniformity of fibers and flocs distribution) pattern on one hand and periodic, regular structures imprinted in the paper structure caused by papermaking wire or press- or drying felt on the other. The analyzed samples include office papers of various quality grades. The attempt of automating the procedure by using ImageJ macros has been made. *Our analysis is based on the work of Dr. I'Anson from UMIST.
