Summary:Systems (100) and methods are provided for characterizing a ply of fiber (152) having a thermoplastic veil (160). One method includes acquiring (202) an image of a fiber material comprising strands (150) of fiber (152) and further comprising a veil (160) of thermoplastic filaments (162), subdividing (204) the image into slices, determining (206) an amount of melted filaments depicted within each of the slices, and determining (208) an amount of unmelted filaments depicted within each of the slices.
