1. An apparatus, wherein the apparatus comprises:
- at least one topographic imaging camera that captures at least one image of a creped tissue sheet moving from a roll to a spool for providing image data having three-dimensional information on the creped tissue sheet; and
a data processor that determines softness of the creped tissue sheet on the basis of a shape of a cross section of at least one fold of the creped tissue sheet in the image data of the at least one image and wherein the data processor is further configured to determine the softness of the creped tissue sheet on the basis of roundness and/or sharpness of at least one fold of the creping.

Abstract
A topographical imaging device is placable after a creping process which causes folds to the tissue sheet and the topographical imaging device provides image data having three-dimensional information on the tissue sheet. A data processing device determines, on the basis of a shape of a cross section of at least one fold of creping of the tissue sheet, at least one of the following: thickness of the tissue sheet, softness of the tissue sheet.

11. A data processing apparatus, comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory, with the at least one processor and the computer program code, cause the data processing apparatus to; control at least one topographic imaging camera to capture of at least one image of a creped tissue sheet moving from a roll to a spool for providing image data having three-dimensional information on the creped tissue sheet; and
determine softness of the creped tissue sheet on the basis of a shape of a cross section of at least one fold of the creped tissue sheet in the image data of the at least one image and wherein the data processor is further configured to determine the softness of the creped tissue sheet on the basis of roundness and/or sharpness of at least one fold of the creping. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
