Due to the ability of producing high resolution and high contrast images from soft tissues with low attenuation coefficients, the usage of X-ray micro-focus source, which has a very small focal point (in the range of micrometer), plays an important role in those new applications. Since employing non-original knots in hand-knitted carpet reduces the carpet quality and the originality of knots cannot be visually recognized, in this research, a method has been introduced for recognition of the 3D structure of hand-knitted carpet using CT-scan images provided by micro-focus X-ray source. The images obtained by inverse Radon transform can even show the smallest units in the inner structure of the finest hand-knitted carpets. This method is a powerful device to recognize the originality, to inspect the structure and to study the impacts of different parameters on the structure of hand-knitted carpets and also for other applications which need scrutiny of 3D textiles.
