Abstract:

In order to choose the whiteness formula that is closest to human perception for non-fluorescent textile whiteness evaluation, 9 whiteness formulae were studied. White samples were selected from self-made non-fluorescent fabrics using white discrimination visual evaluation, and then 28 and 85 samples were selected to carry out 2 psychophysical experiments of pairwise comparison method and category determination method respectively. More than 10,000 visual evaluation data were processed for comparing and evaluating the predictive performance of the 9 whiteness formulae. Results show that when the whiteness formulae were evaluated by the pairwise comparison method and the category judgment method, Hunter2 formula performed the best for both cases. Therefore, for the non-fluorescent fabrics in this study, the Hunter2 whiteness formula originally designed for evaluating fluorescent fabrics is in the best agreement with the visual perception of human eyes.

Key words: non-fluorescent fabric, whiteness formula, visual evaluation, pairwise comparison method, category determination method
