Abstract

This paper presents an innovative Printed Fabric Computerized Automatic Color Separation System. First, a scanner is used to obtain the digitized color image of printed fabric in RGB (red, green, blue) mode, and the image is then converted to the digitized color image in HSI (hue, saturation, intensity) mode. Next, the genetic algorithms are applied to search the smaller sub-image having the same color distribution as the original fabric for proceeding with the subsequent color separation algorithm. For the color separation algorithm, the FCM-based (Fuzzy C-Means) Region Splitting Method is used to carry out the color segmentation of the printed fabric image. The experimental result shows that the color separation method proposed by this study can quickly and correctly achieve the automatic color separation of the printed fabric.
