1. INTRODUCTION
Most of the people are worried about choosing matching
cloths as per needed color from the textile shop. Salesman
will need more time to find a suitable cloth of wanted color.
So a lot of fabrics will have to be displayed togetthesuitable
one. Human eyes cannot continuously differentiate colors,
as they get tired very soon. The aim of this system is to
build a robot, which is capable of detecting colored cloths. It
has a robotic arm, which, after detection of color, picks up
the cloth and then place it at a predetermined place as
required by the customer. In this system contains a camera
along with the image processing software does the job of
color detection. We have used several servomotors for
rotating the arms of the robot. The arms can move
horizontally from its base and vertically up and down. The
gripper is capable of moving quite far for proper gripping of
objects. The overall improvement in the efficiency of the
production process can be significant by usingthismachine.
We matured a camera-based model to notice the clothing
colors. The system integrates a camera &computer. The
camera captures the image of cloth given by the customer.
The image will send to computer .The computer identifythe
color of cloth by analyzing image captured. The camera
captures the image of clothes from rack, having different
colors and matches the clothes as per needed color and
then robotic arm pick up that colored cloth from the rack.
Although many methods have been developed for texture
matching and color detection in the computer vision and
image processing research, currently there is no device that
can effectively supply matching choices for people. In this
system, the clothes color is detected by color detection
algorithm using openCV library and matching theclothesby
contrast color given by the designer. Based on color
recognition detecting color of cloths, then Arduino Uno
controls the servo motor of robotic arm to pick up the cloth
and then place it.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY
[1]This paper discussed about the developmentofanandroid
mobile application for outfit coordination. This application
could be used in shopping and home environments to help
visually impaired individual to decidewhatitemstopurchase
independently as well as to assist him to independently
decide and not depend on any person. The proposed system
matches the clothes and automatically moves to section and
pick up the clothes said by the user and match according to
code assigned by the designers and place it to the desired
location.
[2] This paper depicts objectrecognition,objectdetectionand
tracking and its implementation on embedded platform. The
implementation results show that the detection can
accurately detect and trace sign boards in real time
environment. With static camera various objects can be
detected and tracked as long as the objects are in the line of
sight of camera. But, with a rotating camera, multiple objects
can be detected and any one object is processed.
[3] This paper proposed a Multi-DOF robotic sorter, which
consists of a solid base and a moving arm with joints with
different moving axes that can pick objects of different colors
and place them at predefined locations according to their
colors. Since this machine doesnotsufferfromhumanfatigue,
it can continuously perform the monotonous job of sorting
without any mistake. This system will add accuracy and
perfection in solving the problem of sorting industrial
products. It will also reduce the labor cost hence reduce the
production cost as well. As a result, companies will be able to
supply products at a lower cost, which will be beneficial to
both the producer and the consumer.
3. METHODOLOGY
In this system, the clothes color isdetectedbycolordetection
algorithm using open CV library and matching the clothes by
contrast color given bythedesigner.Thecamera capturesthe
image of cloth and matches theclothasperinformationgiven
in the C++ code. Computer track the location of the cloth and
the pick and place arm picks the cloth as per the instruction
given by Arduino Uno.
The captured image is processed by image processing
technique. The image of cloth is analyzed for various colors
like Red, blue etc. The software is programmed to recognize
these colors. Colors are detected and identified, for example
the captured image has red color then red color is detected
and Some 15 to 20 colors can be detectedapproximately.The
detection of color depends on camera resolutionandlighting

effects and after detection of cloth color,theclothsispicking
up by the arm of the robot and places it into desired
location.

3.1 Design
This system contains two parts, a pick and place arm and
image processing. The pick and place arm contains
servomotors and a camera. The Arduino Uno controls the
movement of arm. A computer is used for image processing.
A camera placed in front of the rack which containsthecloth.
The customer shows the color of the cloth to the robotic
system, the camera on the arm capturetheimageanalyzethe
color from the frame using color thresholding. Second
camera captures the picture and analyzes the colors which
match with input color and track the position of the cloth
where it placed in the rack. The computerpassesthelocation
to Arduino Uno, the Arduino Uno move the arm to pick the
cloth from that position
Robotic Arm
A proper and stable structure is essential for carrying the
total weight and operating smoothly. Proper design of this
structure can efficiently conduct the total work.
Servo Motor
Four servomotor are used for arm movement. A servomotor
is a rotating actuator or linear actuator that takes into
consideration exact control of angular or linear position,
speed and acceleration. Servomotors are not a particular
class of motors in spite of the fact that thetermservomotoris
regularly utilized to allude to a motor appropriate for use in
closed-loop control system.
ArduinoUno
The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the
ATmega328.The board used for programming the
microcontroller in our prototype is Arduino Uno. It has 14
digital input/output pins of which 6 can be used as PWM
outputs, 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz ceramic resonator USB
connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button.
It contains everything neededtosupportthemicrocontroller;
simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it
with an AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. The Uno
differs from all preceding boards in that it does not use the
FTDI USB-to-serial driver chip. Instead, it features the
Atmega16U2 (Atmega8U2 up to version R2) programmedas
a USB to serial port converter. Revision 2 of the Uno board
has a resistor pulling the 8U2 HWB line to ground, making it
easier to put into DFU mode. Board has the following new
features.1.0 pin out which added SDA and SCL pins that are
near to the AREF pin and two other new pins placed near to
the RESET pin, the IOREF that allow the shields to adapt to
the voltage provided from the board.

3.2 Image Processing
Digital image processing is the use of computer algorithms
to perform image processing ondigital images.Digital image
processing has many advantages over analog image
processing. It allows a much wider range of algorithm to be
applied to the input data can avoid problems such as the
buildup of noise and signal distortion during processing.
RGB Color Space
Because the human eye only has colour sensitive receptors
for red, green and blue, it is theoretically possible to
decompose every visible colour into combinations of these
three “primary colours.” Colour monitors, for instance, can
display millions of colours simply by mixing different
intensities of red, green and blue. It ismostcommonto place
the range of intensity for each colour on a scale from 0 to
255 (one byte). The range of intensity is also known as the
“color depth”.The possibilities for mixing the three primary
colors together can be represented as a three dimensional
coordinate plane with the values for R (red),G(green)and B
(blue) on each axis. This coordinate plane yields a cube
called the RGB color space.
Color Detection
In this system, the clothes color isdetectedbycolordetection
algorithm using openCV library and matching the clothes by
contrast color given by the designer.The camera capture the
image of the cloth, analyze the color from the input frame
using color thresholding. Detect the color from the input
image.
A camera placed in front of the rack which contains thecloth.
The customer shows the color of the cloth to the robotic
system, then camera on the arm capture the image and
analyzes the color from the frame using color thresholding.
Second camera capture the picture and analyze thecolor.Ifit
matches with input color then track the position of the cloth
where it placed in the rack.

4. CONCLUSION
We have successfully designed a multi functioning robot,
which consists of moving base and arm with joints with
different moving axes that can pick up cloths of different
colors. Since this machine does not suffer from human
fatigue, it can continuously perform the job of picking cloth
according to match of color withoutanymistake.Thissystem
will add accuracy and perfection in solving the problem of
picking up matching cloth from rack in textile shop as per
customer needs. It will reduce the time needed for selecting
cloths from textile shop. It will also reduce the labor cost
hence reduce the production cost as well. As a result, textile
shop will be able to supply products at a lower cost, which
will be beneficial to both the producer and the consumer.
