Sketch based skirt image retrieval

Published: 08 August 2014 Publication History

Abstract

Although many online shops allow users to search for clothes by categories or keywords, it is usually impossible to specify the details of the design. This paper presents a new technology for retrieving skirt images based on sketches. We first conducted a user study to investigate the typical features illustrated in a sketch. Then algorithms have been developed for automatically extracting those features from both the skirt images and the sketches. A prototype system has been implemented to retrieve and present the best matched skirts in real time when a user interactively sketches her imagined skirt on the canvas.
