Problems solved by technology

Because shopping images are affected by background, light, angle, occlusion, people, environmental noise and other factors in natural scenes, the whole scene of the image is more complicated
This makes content-based shopping image searches extremely difficult

Embodiment Construction

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

[0028] Step 1: Preprocess the image according to actual needs. Median filtering or Gaussian smoothing can be used to filter some noise in the image;

[0029] Step 2: Perform skin tone and face detection on the preprocessed image,

[0030] 1) Use the method of combining the ellipse model and the Gaussian model to detect the skin color of the image and find the skin color

[0031] Area, the specific method is:

[0032] a) Establish a skin color classifier based on a single Gaussian model:

[0033] p ( c ) = 1 ( 2 π ) 1 / 2 | X | 1 / 2 exp [ - 1 2 ( c - μ ) T X - 1 ( c - μ ) ]

[0034] Where c is the color vector corresponding to the pixel, using YCbCr color space; μ and Σ are the mean and cova...

Abstract

The invention discloses a target clothing image extraction method aiming at shopping image search. The target clothing image extraction method aiming at the shopping image search is used for extracting a main target clothing image in shopping images containing one single figure and a plurality of figures. According to the method, human-face positions of the figures are considered, skin colors and human-face detection are used as auxiliary information to help positioning clothing areas, a statistical probability model is used for analyzing clothing and image backgrounds, and simultaneously image spatial information is considered so as to enable the model to be accurate. The target clothing image extraction method is suitable for shopping images containing one single figure (model), is also suitable for shopping images containing a plurality of figures (models), and can extract clothing goods on the bodies of figures (models) accurately. The target clothing image extraction method aiming at the shopping image search is particularly applied to electronic commerce and on-line shopping websites, eliminates influences of complicated image backgrounds, identifies and analyzes main target images, and serves for shopping image search engines.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical fields of image processing and search engines, in particular to a method for extracting main objects / commodities (including clothing, bags, shoes, etc.) in shopping images. Background technique [0002] Content-based shopping image search is a research hotspot in academia and industry in recent years. However, problems such as image background clutter, multi-object coexistence, and object occlusion make large-scale image search a challenging research topic. [0003] E-commerce and online shopping websites usually have a large number of shopping pictures containing people (such as models). In order to attract customers, merchants often invite models to wear the clothes for sale to take pictures, so that the shopping pictures not only include the clothes themselves, but also other noises such as backgrounds and people. Because shopping images are affected by background, light, angle, occlusion, people, envi...
