In traditional method, the woven fabric pattern can not be easily recognized because oldie error judgments of float type. To solve this problem, a novel method based on the pattern database was proposed to detect the woven fabric pattern in this study. FCM algorithm was used to classify the floats in the fabric image into two categories, warp floats and well floats. The classification result then was then compared with the standard patterns in the pattern database, and the similar coefficients between them were calculated. The pattern which has the largest similar coefficient with the classification result was considered as the correct woven pattern, and its diagram and name were output in the system. The test for actual fabric images indicated that the method proposed can recognize the fabric patterns effectively, and the diagram and name of the fabric pattern can be recognized simultaneously. The experiments can also prove that the algorithm which is based on pattern database has good fault tolerant ability, and it can recognize the fabric patterns with a range of error judgments.
