Abstract

Describing clothing appearance with semantic attributes is an appealing technique for many important applications. In this paper, we propose a fully automated system that is capable of generating a list of nameable attributes for clothes on human body in unconstrained images. We extract low-level features in a pose-adaptive manner, and combine complementary features for learning attribute classifiers. Mutual dependencies between the attributes are then explored by a Conditional Random Field to further improve the predictions from independent classifiers. We validate the performance of our system on a challenging clothing attribute dataset, and introduce a novel application of dressing style analysis that utilizes the semantic attributes produced by our system.
