A method has been developed for analyzing and predicting the surface umformity of fabrics directly from yarn diameter measurements by using variance-area curves. The variance-length curves were first derived as a function of correlogram obtainable from the neighboring points within a yarn. Then the between-area variance curves were obtained directly from the variance-length curve and a correlation function. The anisotropy of surface irregularity was defined for woven fabrics, and a quantification method was proposed.
