Abstract: By using gray-level co-occurrence matrix(GLCM),a method for analyzing the fabric texture is developed.Firstly,we reduce the amount of calculations by compressing the image grayscales from 256 to 16;Then calculate the GLCM,we select the GLCM parameters ″energy″,″contrast″,″correlation″, ″entropy″ and(″inverse) difference moment″ to describe the textile texture,and compare the analysis results with the actual fabric texture.It shows that the algorithm could extract and analyze the texture of plain,twill and satin weave efficiently,and fabric texture classification can be further realized.
