- Annotation: The modern textile industry requires objective methods for evaluating fabric drape, which is crucial for designing products with specific properties. This article addresses the limitation of existing methods, which primarily focus on static measurements. The study aims to develop an automated approach for the comprehensive analysis of both static and dynamic drape parameters. An original hardware-software complex, Drapetester, is proposed, utilising computer vision to measure the drape coefficient, fold geometry, amplitude, and transparency. The system’s architecture and image processing algorithm are detailed. The system’s functionality is experimentally confirmed on fabrics of different structures. As a further development, the use of a CatBoost machine learning model to predict the dynamic behaviour of fabric is proposed, which might significantly reduce testing time.
