Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the state of the art of artificial intelligence applications in the textile industry. A review of the existing literature was performed. This article presents three methods of analyzing textile yarn. Some techniques, used in textile fabric inspection, are presented throughout this paper, as well as the use of artificial intelligence on improving the performance of productive systems using neural networks and artificial vision. The preliminary results demonstrate that the techniques covered are an asset in obtaining defects in textile fabrics at the industrial level. Taking into account the various methods of inspection and analysis of textile yarn, all present pros and cons in applicability in the textile area. In terms of advantages, all allow a better analysis of the textile yarn and defect detection with high quality, but with applicability in more complex systems. As a disadvantage, they present the fact that they do not have an already standardized algorithm that can be used, which makes its use more complex. Some possible future applications are also described.
