The increasing demand for creative and aesthetically pleasing fabric designs has been facilitated significantly by advances in software engineering, enabling textile designers to meet these challenges more effectively. Complex designs that were once difficult or nearly impossible to produce are now readily available with the aid of specialized software. However, the use of such software necessitates a high level of skill and experience, and there is limited literature on its performance under varying environmental conditions. This research focuses on the application of digital weaving software to identify best practices for font selection and considers the impact of light intensity on image capture. The statistical analysis reveals a strong linear correlation between light intensity and variation in unbroken floats. The study's findings recommend specific font styles for writing text on fabric selvedge and suggest an optimal light intensity range for camera-based image capture, which is crucial for subsequent software processing. These insights are expected to assist textile technologists in creating fabric selvedge with woven text more efficiently.

• Title: Uporaba inteligentnega sistema pri digitalnem oblikovanju tkanine : optimizacija osvetljenosti in izbira pisave

Abstract

Zadovoljevanje naraščajočega povpraševanja po kreativnih in estetsko privlačnih vzorcih tkanin je znatno olajšano z napredkom v razvoju programske opreme, ki tekstilnim oblikovalcem in tehnologom omogoča učinkovito spopadanje s temi izzivi. Zapleteni vzorci, ki jih je bilo nekoč težko ali skoraj nemogoče izdelati, so sedaj z uporabo specializirane programske opreme zlahka izvedljivi. Uporaba tovrstne programske opreme zahteva visoko raven znanja in izkušenj, literature o njenem delovanju v različnih okoljskih razmerah pa je malo. Ta raziskava se osredinja na uporabo programske opreme za digitalno tkanje, za prepoznavanje najboljših praks pri izbiri pisave, in upošteva tudi vpliv intenzivnosti svetlobe na zajem slike. Statistična analiza razkriva visoko linearno korelacijo med intenzivnostjo svetlobe in variacijo flotirajočih niti. Rezultati raziskave so priporočila za izbor določenih slogov pisav za vstavljanje besedila na rob tkanine in predlogi optimalnega razpona intenzivnosti osvetlitve za zajem slike s kamero, kar je ključnega pomena za nadaljnjo obdelavo s programsko opremo. Pričakovati je, da bodo ti vpogledi pomagali tekstilnim oblikovalcem in tehnologom pri učinkovitejšem ustvarjanju robov tkanine s tkanim besedilom.
