Surface roughness is an important and effective factor in predicting tactile properties of fabrics. The definition of surface roughness and its different evaluating methods are divided into two main groups, subjective and objective, are reviewed. The latter consists of contact and non-contact methods. The evaluation in subjective and objective techniques is done by trained people as a measuring device and an apparatus, respectively.
