In this paper, a new framework is proposed for clothing style recognition in natural scenes. Clothing region is first detected through the fusion of super-pixel segmentation, saliency detection and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). Next, a group of fashion attribute detectors are trained to get the likelihood of each attribute in the clothing image. Finally, the correlation matrix between clothing ...

This study was conducted to improve the construction of impermeable clothing protecting against liquid chemical agents in order to lower the thermal strain caused by the clothing during work. Previous studies indicated that light work in a hot environment in this kind of clothing could last 30 min only. We propose a modification of the construction; new models of protective clothing were tested...

Generally, the clothes with novel styles and contemporaries are called fashion clothing. Fashion clothing must be composed of several fashion elements such as fashion style, fashion color, fashion pattern, etc. The fashion of clothing is a kind of social phenomenon and a kind of cultural, economic activity which transcends borders. It expresses people’s favor of some styles, colors, fabrics, wa...

Gait is known to be an effective behavioral biometric trait for the identification of individuals. However, clothing has a dramatic influence on the recognition rate. Researchers have attempted to deal with this issue of clothing by segmenting parts of the gait images based on anatomical proportions. However, the clothing proportion is not the same as the anatomical proportion, as clothing is d...

Clothing use is an important modern behavior that contributed to the successful expansion of humans into higher latitudes and cold climates. Previous research suggests that clothing use originated anywhere between 40,000 and 3 Ma, though there is little direct archaeological, fossil, or genetic evidence to support more specific estimates. Since clothing lice evolved from head louse ancestors on...

BACKGROUND Clothing has been proposed as an additional source of exposure to mite and cat allergens. Dispersal of allergen into public places has also been attributed to clothing. OBJECTIVES We sought to study the contribution of various types of clothing on mite and cat exposure in a domestic environment. Also, we studied the ability of clothing to transfer allergen in a workplace. METHODS...
