Pattern Recognition of Sarong Fabric Using Machine Learning Approach Based on Computer Vision for Cultural Preservation

Abstract

Sarong is a traditional cloth typically worn during formal or religious events which conventionally woven using the traditional loom. Samarinda is one of Indonesia’s regions with a sarong with a distinctive pattern. Nevertheless, the majority of indigenous people cannot distinguish the various motifs of Samarinda sarongs from those of other regions in Indonesia (non-Samarinda). Therefore, it is necessary to classify the motif of sarongs. This work proposed a pattern recognition method based on computer vision for sarongs motif classification. This method required adequate features to achieve the optimal results. Accordingly, the appropriate color and texture features were investigated to obtain the most discriminative ones. This work generated features using color moments, Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM), and Local Binary Pattern (LBP). The most discriminatory features were selected using the Correlation Based Feature Selection (CFS) and then fed into Artificial Neural Network (ANN). A total of 1000 images were used to evaluate the method and achieved the highest performance with an accuracy value of 100%
