Abstract

This study applies cluster analysis to identifying two frequently blended fibers, lyocell and cotton, based on the six characteristic parameters extracted from the automatic fiber identification system presented in the previous publications. Two independent parameters are first derived from the six characteristic parameters by using factor analysis. Second, a probability density distribution map of the two indirect parameters is established through sample observations. Finally, the clusters of lyocell and cotton fibers in the probability density distribution map are segmented according to contour lines and distance. The experiment showed that the accuracy of lyocell and cotton fiber identification with the cluster analysis is above 95%.
