An non-destructive analyzing system was developed automatically, and the applicability of this system was discussed.The discrimination of the stitch shapes is very important for analysis of the stitch construction of knitted fabrics. To discriminatethe stitch shapes, a computer image processing and a pattern recognition were used in the system. The surfaceimage of knitted fabrics was captured with an image scanner. A threshold processing and a histogram processing wereused to determine the locations of knit stitches. After detection of stitch regions, the stitch shapes was discriminated usinga template matching method. For knitted fabrics in which both back and face loops are used such as links-links andtransfer stitches, this system presented in this study can be applied to the analysis of the discrimination of stitch shapes.
