Abstract
Systems and methods for classifying and sorting textile samples. A textile identification system may be configured to manipulate a textile sample in a manner that reveals a textile characteristic. For example, an elastic property of the textile sample is revealed by stretching or twisting the sample. The textile sample may be classified based on the textile characteristic. The textile sample may be sorted based on the classification.
Claims20
A method of classifying a textile sample comprising:
- obtaining textile sample data related to a textile characteristic of the textile sample by manipulating the textile sample to change a dimension of the textile sample;
- comparing the textile sample data to a database of textile characteristics;
- determining a set of probable textile types based on the comparison;
- selecting at least one probable textile type from the set of probable textile types;
- and
- associating the at least one probable textile type with the textile sample.

A method of classifying a textile sample set comprising:
- selecting a textile sample from the textile sample set based on a predetermined minimum length;
- obtaining an elongation property of the textile sample by elongating the textile sample along an axis;
- selecting at least one probable textile type from a set of probable textile types based on the elongation property;
- and
- associating the at least one probable textile type with the textile sample set.

A method of classifying a textile sample set comprising:
- selecting a textile sample from the textile sample set;
- obtaining a destructive threshold property of the textile sample by destructively manipulating the textile sample;
- selecting at least one probable textile type from a set of probable textile types based on the destructive threshold property;
- and
- associating the at least one probable textile type with the textile sample set.
