- Abstract
This research work focused on angular measurement of fabric drape when it falls gracefully in 2 directions, which makes a complex 3-dimensional shape with double curvature. Image processing software was used for the measurement of drape, when the fabric is in motion. Woven fabrics (plain, twill, sateen, honeycomb, extra-warp, Bedford cord) and knitted fabrics (single jersey, double jersey) with 80-330 g/m² were used. An angular drapemeter was designed and drape was measured in 5 different angles (0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°) and Adobe Photoshop software was used to determine the accurate drape of the fabric. In addition, the fabric was rotated to calculate the drape of the fabric to determine its drape when in motion. The results revealed that the processed image with Adobe Photoshop had high accuracy of the area projected by the shadow.
