Abstract
Calculating cord parameters of a textile reinforced rubber sheet moving in the machine direction includes: (a) illuminating an area on a side of the sheet with radiation; (b) obtaining a digital image of an illuminated area; (c) generating a digital image of the outer surface; and (d) calculating cord parameters. The elongated textile cords are preferably parallel to each other the elongated textile cords are orientated in a cross direction which is perpendicular to the machine direction. Scanning or static camera with a light source can be employed, wherein the light is directionally perpendicular to the plurality of cords. Cord count per unit length, cord spacing, the presence of missing cords, and/or the presence of shifted cords can be determined.
