Abstract
In this paper, we apply the fuzzy linear clustering method of Hathaway and Bezdek (1980) to the task of fabric property prediction and fabric selection from an on-line database. We show that the fuzzy linear clustering method is quite effective for this task. The on-line database, associated with the intelligent search engine we developed, addresses the urgent need of cloth manufacturers, clothing designers and retailers to quickly find suitable fabric materials and fabric manufacturers.
