This study aims to understand the local knowledge of Dagmay fabric weaves. This Dagmay weave is a traditional artwork of the Mandaya people, who reside in the southern part of the Philippines. This artwork is an indigenous expression of their system, belief in gods, nature, and relationship to humans. These are three designs of Dagmay weaves. These handmade designs are woven by three Mandayan women who have been creating this artwork for many years. Each design of Dagmay weaves has a natural pattern of regularity, and this pattern is embedded in each Dagmay, represented through an abstract representation using the RGB pixel coding. This RGB coding is a mathematical representation whose entries are numbers and colors (RGB) that define the exact features of Dagmay. There are four functions: imshow, impixelinfo, imdisplayrange, and impixelregion, used to generate the electronic version of Dagmay. These functions are coded in MATLAB.
