Finally, such parameters are used for grading the fabrics or for characterizing their quality. While the starting point and the final results are ultimately shared by all the techniques, what changes is the method adopted for extracting the information used for pilling grading. On the basis of main literature works, in the present work the following categories are identified: 1) 2D imaging methods based on thresholding. 2) 2D imaging methods based on Fourier and/or Wavelet analysis. 3) 3D imaging methods. 4) AI-based methods (using either 2D or 3D images). Understandably, different categories could be used for describing existing works. Moreover some more recent techniques use approaches comprised in more than one of the above categories. Nevertheless, it is authors’ opinion that the given categorization, although open to improvement, is effective for understanding and systematizing the knowledge about how the pilling assessment
