Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of estimating the similarity of clothing for the purpose of fashion-related e-commerce systems. The images presenting fashion models are segmented and analyzed in order to detect clothing characteristics. We propose a method based on human pose estimation and body parts segmentation, followed by the analysis of dominant color and structural similarity, independently for particular body segments. The algorithm can be utilized to perform clusterization or in the simpler case—to directly search for similar outfits. The experiments performed using 1800 real-life photos proved the applicability of the proposed approach.
