A Survey of Major Techniques of Clothing in Vision

Abstract

Clothing in vision plays an important role in many applications of digital clothing, virtual fitting, fashion\r design and manufacturing. The research of clothing in vision is full of technical challenges, such as\r background detection and features extraction. In this paper, we introduce the latest remarkable works\r of clothing in vision area, including clothing segmentation, clothing recognition and clothing retrieval.\r There are many remarkable advances on the basis of the predecessors' achievements in the three fields.\r Firstly, we provide an overview of the techniques for clothing segmentation and clothing recognition.\r Then, we introduce and analyze the representative works on clothing retrieval. Finally, we forecast\r broader application prospect and future research work of clothing in vision.
