Abstract

Indonesia has many cultural riches in the form of traditional fabrics, one of which is woven fabrics. Woven fabrics from each region showcase distinctive motifs, manifesting the local community’s daily life, culture, natural conditions, and beliefs. The diverse weaving motifs pose a challenge in determining the origin of the woven fabrics. It highlights the necessity of a system to detect and identify woven fabrics. Texture analysis was performed using the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). A classification method based on a Support Vector Machine (SVM) consisting of four models: Linear SVM, Quadratic SVM, Cubic SVM, and Fine Gaussian SVM was developed in this research. The images of woven fabrics came from three regions in Indonesia: Sumatra, Kalimantan, and Nusa Tenggara. This research utilized 240 training images and 12 testing images. The testing results unveiled that the Cubic SVM model, which achieved a 100% accuracy rate in 1.0835s, was the optimum SVM model for the weaving classification.
