An Examination for Impression Word Extraction of Clothing

Abstract

A questionnaire survey on clothing for the visually impaired people revealed that many women in particular have a strong desire to enjoy fashion on their own. Visually impaired can not purchase clothing without the assistance of the sighted. Based on this background, there are several studies on clothing selection support for the visually impaired, and some of them have been commercialized. However, there are only a few studies that support the visually impaired people’s clothing selection by recognizing clothing impression (casual, formal, etc.). Therefore, we design a feature extraction model by deep learning using DeepFashion, a clothing dataset, and investigate a method to extract impression words from clothing images.
