Description
Summary:Advanced deep learning has assisted in various operations in different industries. In the textile industry, the professional must be trained and experienced in fabric classification. Fabrics such as Abaca are difficult to classify as the same base material is intertwined with a different material. The versatile nature of Abaca is used in various products including paper bills, ropes, handwoven handicrafts, and fabric. Abaca fabric is an unsought product of fabric due to its rough texture. Blended Abaca fabrics are traditionally mixed with cotton, silk, and polyester. Due to the combination of the characteristics of the materials, the fabric classification is prone to human error. Therefore, we created a device capable of classifying blends of Abaca fabric using YOLOv8 architecture. We used a Raspberry Pi 4B with camera module v3 to capture images for classification. The dataset consisted of four blends, specifically Abaca, Cotton Abaca, Polyester Abaca, and Silk Abaca. A total 500 images were used to test the model’s performance, and the performance accuracy was 94.6%.
