A study of a clothing image segmentation method in complex conditions using a features fusion model

Abstract

According to a priori knowledge in complex conditions, this paper proposes an unsupervised image segmentation algorithm to be used for clothing images that combines colour and texture features. First, block truncation encoding is used to divide the traditional three-dimensional colour space into a six-dimensional colour space so that more fine colour features can be obtained. Then, a texture feature based on the improved local binary pattern (LBP) algorithm is designed and used to describe the clothing image with the colour features. After that, according to the statistical appearance law of the object region and background information in the clothing image, a bisection method is proposed for the segmentation operation. Since the image is divided into several subimage blocks, bisection image segmentation will be accomplished more efficiently. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can quickly and effectively extract effective clothing regions from complex circumstances without any artificial parameters. The proposed clothing image segmentation method will play an important role in computer vision, machine learning applications, pattern recognition and intelligent systems.

“…With the rapid development of computer technology, image information acquisition, processing, transmission, and other related technologies have been rapidly developed and applied and have been widely studied by scholars [101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110]. Among them, image encryption plays an increasingly important role in the fields of information security, military, medicine, and meteorology and has become a hot issue of social concern.…”

Clothing Style Recognition and Design by Using Feature Representation and Collaboration Learning

“…The essence of image segmentation is to connect some similar pixels to form the final segmentation region. The image segmentation (Zhang 2020;Luo 2018;Ji 2018;Xi 2020) must consider both the similarity of pixels and the spatial adjacency. The segmentation region must satisfy the following requirements.…”
