Abstract

Nowadays, with the development of digital technology, the role of computer applications is important in art, especially in fabric and cloth design. Note that in traditional methods, it is not possible to interact with the consumer until the end of the design process, and if the final design is not approved by them, all design steps must be repeated. Typical design software systems only work well for professionals and are difficult for non-professionals to work with; therefore, there is a need to use systems that can provide the interaction between the user and the system while maintaining design speed, which is essential in this field. In this research, a fabric design assistance system based on the interactive genetic algorithm has been developed. To design the fabric, patterns and colors available in Qashqai kilims, as well as the type of pattern arrangement in kilims, were used. The designs produced by the system are displayed to the user to estimate the level of fitness. According to the user's evaluation, weaker designs are discarded, and stronger designs are improved by passing through the system again, and finally, the desired design is created. The results show that the use of the proposed system in the fabric design industry enables designers, buyers, and even fabric manufacturers to apply their taste in the fabric design process. As inferred from the users' point of view, reducing the design process time, reducing related costs, and achieving multiple designs in the shortest possible time are the advantages of this system.
