Prediction of Laser-Treated Knitted Fabric Colour Properties Based on a New Elman Neural Network

Abstract

The present paper proposes an new optimal Elman neural network modelling to predict the knitted fabric colour properties including the colour yield (in term of K/S value) and CIE Lab values of knitted fabrics under the effect of laser engraving process. The new modified Elman network which have a proportional (P), integral (I), and derivative (D) properties is introduced in this paper. The experiment results illustrate that the proposed prediction model in this study is more feasible and applicable for the knitted fabrics color properties induced by laser engraving.
