Abstract:

In order to solve the problems of unsatisfactory accuracy and low efficiency in the clothing image retrieval, a sketch based clothing image retrieval method by visual salient regions and re-ranking was proposed. Firstly, clothing salient edge map was obtained by saliency detection method with regularized random walks walking and the edge map. Then, histogram of oriented gradeient features of user sketches and the salient edge in clothing images were extracted, respectively, and the feature matching was achieved by similarity calculation between the input sketches and clothing images. Finally, the retrieval results were output in descending order according to the similarity. Using the re-ranking optimization based on distance correlation coefficients, final results were obtained. Experimental results show that the method can effectively provide clothing retrieval results and significantly improve accuracy and robustness comparison with other approaches. The accuracy ratio of the algorithm is higher than 78.5%.

Key words: clothing retrieval, sketch-based image retrieval, saliency detection, feature matching
