This study describes the near-infrared spectral image measurement system for water transferences of woven fabrics. The system consists of a pair of near-infrared light source, a series of optical apparatus, a near infrared camera, and an image processor. This study also describes that the developed measuring system is adequate for testing the time-dependent water absorbency of the materials by using the model samples and several woven fabrics. It could be expected that the sensed information obtained by the spectral image could control the quality of the water absorbency more precisely and effectively than the conventional test methods.Article先進ファイバー工学研究教育拠点研究成果報告書 10: 146-146(2004)research repor
