Embodiments pertain to methods of evaluating fiber quality by (1) receiving at least one in-line hologram image of the fiber; (2) reconstructing the in-line hologram image of the fiber into at least one three-dimensional image of the fiber that includes fiber-related data; and (3) correlating the fiber-related data to fiber quality. Such methods may also include: (4) adjusting fiber-related conditions; and (5) repeating steps 1-3 after the adjustment. Further embodiments pertain to systems for evaluating fiber quality in accordance with the aforementioned methods. Such systems may include a receiving area with a region for housing a fiber, a light source associated with the receiving area, a chamber associated with the light source and receiving area, a camera within the chamber, a processor in electrical communication with the camera, a storage device, an algorithm associated with the storage device and a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with the processor.

A computer program product including machine executable instructions stored on machine readable media for implementing a method for controlling color reproduction during manufacture of fabric for a garment is provided. The method includes: obtaining appearance information descriptive of the appearance desired for the fabric; obtaining color profile information for a device that generated the appearance information; updating the appearance information with the color profile information; selecting parts information descriptive of the geometry of at least one part of the garment and applying the updated appearance information to provide updated parts information; and storing the updated parts information for reference during the manufacture. A system and a method are described.

Provided is a method for measuring a color difference, an electronic device and a storage medium. The method includes: conveying respective fabric segments of the fabric to be detected sequentially to a measurement port of a detection portion, so as to collect color values at a plurality of sampling points; determining a time range in which a target segment of the fabric to be detected passes through the measurement port of the detection portion; the target segment being any one fabric segment of the fabric to be detected; selecting an effective sampling point of the target segment based on the time range and sampling time points of the plurality of sampling points; and determining a corresponding color difference value of a target yarn spindle based on a color value and standard value of the effective sampling point.

A plane cutting machine for soft materials may include a worktable, a feeding device, a XY plane cutting system, and a computer. The feeding device is located above the worktable. The XY plane cutting system is located above the feeding device. The worktable is divided into a first worktable and a second worktable. The feeding device comprises a first feeding device and a second feeding device disposed above the first worktable and the second worktable, respectively. A first camera and a second camera are provided above the first feeding device and the second feeding device, respectively. The first camera and the second camera are connected with an input end of the computer via a data line. The XY plane cutting system is connected with an output end of the computer via a data line.

A winder for forming a yarn package can have a spindle axis. The winder can comprise a spindle that is configured to be rotatably driven about the spindle axis. A color probe can be positioned with respect to the spindle to measure a color value of yarn wound on the spindle.

Disclosed are improved methods for inspecting tow for contamination, defects, and/or imperfections, for example cellulose acetate tow. The present disclosure can also relate to processes for producing cellulose acetate tow that involve detecting and analyzing contamination, defects, and/or imperfections in the tow. The methods can result in cellulose acetate that has fewer contamination, defects, and/or imperfections than has been previously achieved.
