چکیده

A traditional fashion designer has to draw a large number of drafts in order to accomplish an ideal style. Better performance can be achieved if these operations are done on computers, because the designer can easily make changes for various patterns and colors. To develop a computer-aided fashion design system, one of the most difficult tasks is to automatically separate the clothing from the background so that a new item can be ‘put on’. One difficulty of the segmentation work arises from the diverse patterns on the clothing, especially with folds or shadows. In this study, circular histograms are first utilized to quantize color and to reduce shadow/ highlight effects. Then a color co-occurrence matrix and a color occurrence vector are proposed to characterize the color spatial dependence and color occurrence frequency of the clothing’s texture. Next, based on the two color features blocks on the clothing are found by a region growing method. Finally, post-processing is applied to obtain a smooth clothing boundary. Experimental results are presented to show the feasibility of the proposed approach.

Color Texture Segmentation for Clothing Based on Finite Prolate Spheroidal Sequences

By means of a computer-aided fashion design system, a fashion designer can easily make changes to the various colors, textures and pattern prints of clothing design, and thus need not draw on paper a great number of drafts. One of the most difficult tasks in a computer-aided fashion design system is to separate the clothing of interest on a model from the background, so that changes can be appl...

Who Leads the Clothing Fashion: Style, Color, or Texture? A Computational Study

It is well known that clothing fashion is a distinctive and often habitual trend in the style in which a person dresses. Clothing fashions are usually expressed with visual stimuli such as style, color, and texture. However, it is not clear which visual stimulus places higher/lower influence on the updating of clothing fashion. In this study, computer vision and machine learning techniques are ...

Modified CLPSO-based fuzzy classification System: Color Image Segmentation

Fuzzy segmentation is an effective way of segmenting out objects in images containing both random noise and varying illumination. In this paper, a modified method based on the Comprehensive Learning Particle Swarm Optimization (CLPSO) is proposed for pixel classification in HSI color space by selecting a fuzzy classification system with minimum number of fuzzy rules and minimum number of incorr...
