摘要：This paper proposes a fashion-related image gathering algorithm and a retrieval system. Since it is difficult to define the fashion-related image exactly in mathematical sense, computers can not recognize whether given images are fashion-related even if they use computer vision techniques. It is also difficult to gather and search only fashion-related images on the Internet automatically for the same reason. In order to overcome these difficulties, we focus on human computing power, which helps computers to find fashion-related images from tons of images on the Internet. This paper provides an algorithm to gather high quality fashion-related images and propses a fashion-related image retrieval system, both of which utilize the information and meta data obtained in a fashion-related image sharing site. Evaluation experiments show that the proposed algorithm can gather fashion-related images efficiently and that the proposed retrival system can find desired images more effectively than Google Image Search.
