A method of measuring properties of a moving cellulose, paper or board sheet. A first parameter of a first resonance caused by the moving sheet in a frequency range 1 GHz to 25 GHz of electromagnetic radiation is measured. A second parameter of an electromagnetic signal transmitted between at least a pair of transceiver parts of a transceiver sensor located on opposite sides of the moving sheet through the moving sheet is measured in a frequency range 25 GHz to 1000 GHz. A minimum difference between the frequency ranges related to the first parameter and the second parameter being at least 5 GHz. Both the dry stuff content and the weight of water per unit of area are determined on the basis of the first parameter, the second parameter and available information related to a distance travelled by the electromagnetic signal.

An imaging system includes a conveyor device to convey a sheet material along a conveyance path, a deformation tolerance portion located along the conveyance path, and a measurement device located in the deformation tolerance portion. The deformation tolerance portion includes a space to accommodate a bending of the conveyed sheet material. The measurement device measures a bending amount of the sheet material.

A method for evaluating crease recovery of fabrics based on power function equation. The steps are: (1) place the sample in the sample placement area; (2) pressure the overlapping part of the sample; (3) let the free part of the sample automatically restore and record the video image of the sample crease recovery by camera; (4) process the video image of the fabric crease recovery and calculating the recovery angle of each frame of video image; (5) repeat steps 1 to 4 to measure N samples of the same fabric; (6) obtain the dynamic process of fabric crease recovery angle change. This can reveal which type of fabric has better recovery property, when the existing methods have the similar results of recovery angle.
