Abstract:Automatic identification of the fabric structure plays a vital role in the fabric industry. In this paper we present a rapid and accurate approach for automatic identification of the woven fabric structure. The proposed method is based on the geometric feature of peaks in the power spectrum of Fourier transforms. We perform our method into three kinds of jeans fabric: plain, reclining twill and steep twill. Different fabrics exhibit different included angle of peaks in the power spectrum. In addition, the float of fabrics are calculated accurately, too. The efficiency of this approach is illustrated with 96% accuracy in structure detection.
