A fabric type identifying apparatus A for identifying a type of a fabric F provided with an identifier I includes a camerafor photographing the fabric F, a traversing devicefor moving the cameracrosswise in a direction orthogonal to a conveying direction of the fabric F, and an image processing apparatusfor receiving an image input and photographed by the camera. The image processing apparatusidentifies the type of the fabric F on a basis of the identifier I included in the input image of the fabric F. The position of the camerais adjustable so that the identifier I passes through a photographing area, thereby enabling to bring the cameracloser to the fabric F to photograph the small identifier I with high resolution, resulting in recognizing the identifier I correctly.
