The textile process involves the interaction of a large number of variables. The relations between these variables and the product properties could not be established conclusively. Different techniques have been suggested to determine these relations but with limited success. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) represent a promising step in this field. In this research, a survey of the application of ANN from fibers through yarn; fabric, garments as well as finishing processes is performed. A comparison between the traditional techniques and ANN in textiles is conducted and a preview for the expected future of ANN in the textile field is also presented.

The artificial neural network (ANN) is increasingly used as a powerful tool for many real world problems. ANN has proved its usefulness for resolving many problems in textiles such as prediction of yarn properties, analysis of fabric defects, process optimization etc. The power of neural networks lies in their ability to represent complex relationships and learn them directly from the data being modeled. The prediction of properties or performance of a process in advance is required to minimize the setup cost and time. The ability to predict these properties accurately has become a challenge due to highly non-linear and interactive behaviour of textile materials. This paper presents basics of ANN and its applications in different textile domains.

Neural network is a computational structure. A neural network is a massively parallel distributed processor made up of simple processing units, which has a neural propensity for storing experiential knowledge and making it available for use. It has capability to organize its structural constituents, known as “Neurons”. It can perform certain computations (e.g. fabric pattern, fabric defects, fabric wrinkle, etc.) many times faster than the fastest computer. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is a field of computer science that seeks to understand and implement computer based technology. The Neural Network is understood on the basis of their properties, construction, classification - based on application, advantages of neural computing. Fabric engineering needs a thorough understanding of the functional properties and their construction parameters. When the relationship between a set of interrelated properties goes beyond the complete comprehension of the human brain, neural networks (NNs) could be used to find the unknown function. Neural network describes the method, for the prediction of both construction and performance parameters of fabrics. Accordingly, constructional parameters are used as input for predicting the performance parameter in forward engineering, and the parameters are reversed for the reverse engineering prediction. Comparison between actual results and predicted results is made. An expert system with an embedded artificial neural network (ANN) is also used, with its functionality toward engineered fabric manufacturing.

In this study, a feedforward backpropagation artificial neural network (ANN) software was developed and it was tested with two different fabric group. While the former was consisted of 29 cotton samples produced under different conditions, the latter was consisted of 49 polyester samples produced under the same conditions. Each group is divided into training and control groups. The result values of the control groups produced by the trained neural network were obtained. The results of the linear regression for both groups with the same method were also obtained. While the fabric weight, thickness, warp and weft tensile strength for the cotton samples are being examined, the air and water permeability values for the polyester samples were examined. Artificial neural network values for all samples showed better fit than linear regression values. ANN and linear regression results were produced closer results for the polyester samples produced under controlled conditions. While ANN results on cotton samples produced under uncontrolled conditions showed good agreement, the fit of the linear regression results deteriorated. This study was supported by the BAP unit of Uşak University.

In this paper we use a neural network approach for defects identification in textile. The images analyzed came from an artificial vision system that we used to acquire and memorize them in bitmap file format. The vision system is made of two grey scale line scan camera arrays and each array is composed of four CCD cameras with a sensor of 2048 pixels. Every single camera has a field of view of 600mm. The big amount of pixels to be studied to determine whether the texture is defective or not, requires the implementation of some encoding technique to reduce the number of the significant elements. The artificial neural networks (ANN) are manipulated to compress a bitmap that may contain several defects in order to represent it with a number of coefficients that is smaller than the total number of pixel but still enough to identify all kinds of defects classified. An error back propagation algorithm is also used to train the neural network. The proposed technique includes, also, steps to break down large images into smaller windows or array and eliminate redundant information.

The performance of an artificial neural network (ANN) is affected by the number and types of inputs. The aim of this article is to study the performance of ANN algorithms, used for the prediction of cotton yarn strength, elongation, and evenness, as the input units are subtracted (skeletonized) and added to the input layer. Nineteen factors, consisting of fiber properties, processing parameters, and yarn quality properties, were used as the main source of inputs. The initial sets of inputs, which were selected on the basis of their relationship with the output factors, were 13, 13, and 12 for yarn strength, elongation, and evenness, respectively. The final sets of inputs were 14 factors for the three yarn quality properties being predicted, and the new ANN algorithms showed performance improvement of 40, 37, and 47% for strength, elongation, and evenness, respectively, when compared to the algorithms with 19 factors. Yarn twist, fiber length, and fiber length uniformity were common among the five most influential factors affecting yarn strength, elongation, and evenness, accounting for 40, 37, and 37% for the prediction of yarn strength, elongation, and evenness, respectively.

Engineering of spun yarns having specific tensile, evenness and hairiness characteristics is a long-cherished dream of spinning technologists. Selection of suitable raw materials at minimum cost and optimisation of process parameters are the two major tasks to be achieved to manufacture engineered yarn. Advent of high-speed fibre-testing machines and development of powerful modelling tools such as artificial neural network (ANN) have provided a great impetus in the yarn engineering research. This article demonstrates the feasibility of yarn engineering by developing a yarn-to-fibre 'reverse' model, using ANN. This approach is entirely different from the prevailing forward models, which predict the properties of final yarn using the fibre properties as inputs. The cost minimisation of cotton fibre mix was ensured by using the classical linear programming approach in combination with ANN. The engineered yarns demonstrated good agreement with the target yarn properties.
In this paper, a neural network approach is used to understand the effects of HVI fibers characteristics and process parameters on yarn tensile properties, CVm% and hairiness. In this approach, four fibers characteristics, twist level and metric number are taken as input variables and the breaking strength and breaking elongation, CVm and hairiness as output variables. The technique of Bayesian regularization is used for improving the generalization capability of neural networks. For this purpose, five different blends of cotton were processed and spun into ring yarns having different counts. Each count was spun at five twist levels.
