MIT Fabric Properties Dataset
Real Fabric Dataset
We have compiled videos of 30 different types of real fabric along with measurements of their material properties. This dataset can be used for training and testing algorithms for predicting material properties of fabric. The fabrics span a variety of stiffness and area weights. A summary of these fabrics can be seen in the figure below.
Measured properties for the 30 fabrics in our database. Properties include, bending stiffness, area weight, mass, and also density (not shown). The average value of these properties across multiple samples is displayed in the table. An ∗ in the description of a fabric indicates that only one measurement was made for this fabric. Most fabric’s properties are averaged across two measurements made in orthogonal directions.
Physical Measurements
Specimens of the fabric were sent to the Lowell ACMTRL Laboratory in order to be tested for stiffness, density, and area weight.
