Application of the Image Analysis Technique for Estimating the Dimensions of Spliced Connections of Yarn-Ends

industry for yarn-end connection, taking into consideration the low exploitation costs and the small dimensions of such devices. Splicing-devices manufactured by Mesdan are most often used in Poland. Devices which eliminate breakages are mostly installed for automatic winders, where they are used to connect yarns whose continuity has been broken as re-sult of cleaning, changing spinning cops, and random breakages [5]. Our intention is to use knot-free yarn con-nections in order to obtain a joint whose external view and physical properties maximally resemble the appearance an
