  • Shadow puppet (Wayang kulit) is one of Indonesian popular culture. Every puppet characters has its own identity and pattern, make it different from each other. Based on that fact, I have intention to do a research about pattern recognition on shadow puppet using Backpropagation algorithm on neural network method and edge detection, then using it on mobile device. This research using three edge detection algorithms: Canny, Sobel, and Prewitt. Edge detection is used to get the main pattern of Shadow Puppet. Before the images became an input for neural network, the image extracted first with Haar Wavelets. Those algorithms is tested to get the best algorithm for pattern recognition of shadow puppet. The testing method is using many kind of parameters for neural network and many kind of tranformed images. The result show that pattern recognition can doing its job well. Neural network can work well if trained using low error rate. The best edge detection algorithm among the others is Canny edge detection. I hope this research can bring out other people to do other research about shadow puppet, so it can help to keep out shadow puppet from extinction
