  Abstract: The mechanical properties of woven fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites stem entirely from the geometrical regularity inherent in their reinforcement structure. Changes in the size of the unit cell, fibre tow separation, weave angle, and fibre tow spacing will have an immediate effect on the stiffness and shear modulus of the material. In this paper, a combined machine vision system that incorporates both the OpenCV and DIPlib libraries is proposed for …
