Abstract
This paper reports on work that should lead to real-time characterization of nonwovens as they are being produced. Statistical techniques and image processing techniques are employed. The initial results indicate the possibility of better process understanding and control. The goal of this work is to develop affordable sensors for the needed process measures. The first part deals with methods for off-line characterization of mass uniformity.
