It is relevant for its documentation, dissemination and preservation. Related to historical fabrics, weaves and weaving techniques are still mostly represented in forms of 2D graphics and textual descriptions. However, complex geometries are difficult to represent in such forms, hindering the way this legacy is transmitted to new generations. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of SILKNOW\u2019s Virtual Loom, an interactive tool aimed to document, preserve and represent in interactive 3D forms historical weaves and weaving techniques of silk fabrics, dating from the 15th to the 19th centuries. To that end, our tool only requires an image of a historical fabric. Departing from this image, the tool automatically subtracts the design, and allows the user to apply different weaves and weaving techniques. In its current version, the tool embeds five traditional weaving techniques, 39 weaves and six types of yarns, which have been defined thanks to close collaboration of experts in computer graphics, art history and historical fabrics. Additionally, users can change the color of yarns and produce different 3D representations for a given fabric, which are interactive in real time. In this paper, we bring the details of the design and implementation of this tool, focusing on the input data, the strategy to process images, the 3D modelling of yarns, the definition of weaves and weaving techniques and the graphical user interface. In the results section, we show some examples of image analysis in order to subtract the design of historical fabrics, and then we provide 3D representations for all the considered weaving techniques, combining different types of yarns.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11042-020-10294-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,17]],"date-time":"2021-01-17T01:02:31Z","timestamp":1610845351000},"page":"13735-13760","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Virtual Loom: a tool for the interactive 3D representation of historical fabrics"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"80","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4520-2250","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cristina","family":"Portal\u00e9s","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Manolo","family":"P\u00e9rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Pablo","family":"Casanova-Salas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jes\u00fas","family":"Gimeno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"10294_CR1","unstructured":"35D Weave (2020). https:\/\/www.designscopecompany.com\/files\/3D_Weave.pdf.
