The method will be then coupled with a numerical strategy to compute the micro-impermeability of a yarn with the aim of obtaining a multi-scale algorithm that incorporates the effects of the yarn micro-impermeability into the model computing the textile macro-impermeability. Several numerical experiments will assess the validity of our image-processing based approach.
