      CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE WORK 

     In general, the explicit model is quite appropriate for the visualization of such cloth materials as artificial silk. It seems to be a very promising design tool for textile engineering as it is based only on cloth pattern parameters available from cloth manufacturers such as interlacing structure, detail specification of yarn form etc.

    The one of averaged features of the created explicit model is the distribution of primitives along their orientation. It strongly affects reflection properties of the cloth. In the current model this distribution includes two delta-functions (correspond to line segments) with constant segment between them (corresponds to arcs). This specific distribution form can be considered as a reason of the difference between measured and calculated data found in Results and Images.
    On the other side, as we can see in Fig. 1(a) and especially in Fig. 1(b) some stochastic fiber deviations are peculiar to cloth model in the reality. Stated more precisely, the cloth structure represents both deterministic and statistical elements. Deterministic elements are interlacing structure, color of yarns, a number of fibers in a yarn, fiber cross-section shape etc. Most significant statistical elements are fiber distribution along the yarn axis and roughness of the fiber surface.

    We intend to enhance the explicit model by a statistical approach to take into account stochastic features of the cloth. Furthermore we intend to apply our results in woven textile visualization to the knitwear to provide "far view" of any kind of clothes.

    Finally we will provide the more comprehensive comparison of calculated images with real photos.
