Tenun ikat Sumba or weaving of indonesia has very abundant, unique, and
interesting motifs. Those motifs/patterns of the tenun ikat describe symbol and
attribute of ancestral cultures of Sumba people and each of the motifs and patterns
has its own meaning which possibly cannot be found in the other countries.
However in the use of this tenun ikat, there are no many people especially the
youth and tourits knowing how the origin of tenun ikat Sumba. Or even to know
further about type of the motifs and philosophical meaning in them. From the
background, the writer wants to develop an Application for Classifyng Motifs for
Sumba weaving textile by applying a Wavelet method for extracting
characteristics of the motifs in the first process and also the imitation of their fiber
network by using Backpropagation momentum for their classification. This
application is hopefully able to give special service and information to the people
either as local people or stangers who eager to get more information about the
weaving textile in Sumba regions.
