Abstract:

According to the characteristics of the fabric scanning images, a fabric pattern retrieval method based on the SURF features of maximum stable extremal regions was proposed to retrieve fabric images with similar patterns. Firstly, structure extraction algorithm was used to remove the texture in the fabric scanning image, and preserve the fabric pattern information; secondly, maximally stable extremal regions algorithm was used to extract the SURF features of all extremal regions in the fabric patterns, and the feature database of fabric images was established; finally, similarity measure between the fabric images to retrieve and the images in database was computed to get the fabric images with similar patterns. The experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm can retrieve fabric patterns accurately.
