Online yarn hairiness– Loop & protruding fibers dataset
Pereira, Filipe; Pinto, Leandro; Soares, Filomena; Vasconcelos, Rosa; Machado, José; Carvalho, VítorThis paper introduces an online dataset focused on detect- ing hairiness in yarn, including loop and protruding fibers. The dataset is designed for use in assessing artificial intelli- gence algorithms. The dataset consists of 684 original images. Through augmentation, this number increases to 1644, with 11,037 annotations derived from videos featuring 56.4tex pur- ple cotton yarn. The videos were captured duri...

The weight of time: challenges of ageing in Higher Education
Vasconcelos, Rosa; Silva, Marcia; Araújo, Emília Rodrigues; Urze, PaulaThis working in progress aims to clarify what the ageing academy means, what practical contributions can be drawn from existing studies on the subject, with a view to mapping the main effects that academics identify due to ageing, especially in engineering. By presenting the existing studies on the ageing academy, and the effects and measures to address this issue, it can be assumed that tackling the problem of...
Intelligent Computer Vision System for Analysis and Characterization of Yarn Qu...
Pereira, Filipe; Macedo, Alexandre; Pinto, Leandro; Soares, Filomena; Vasconcelos, Rosa; Machado, José; Carvalho, VítorThe quality of yarn is essential in the control of the fabrics processes. There is some commercial equipment that measures the quality of yarn based on sensors, of different types, used for collecting data about some textile yarn characteristic parameters. The irregularity of the textile thread influences its physical properties/characteristics and there may be a possibility of a break in the textile thread dur...
