Abstract
Drawing the clothing plan is an essential part of the clothing industry. However, the irregular shape of clothing, strong deformability and sensitivity to light make the fast and accurate realization of clothing image retrieval a very challenging problem. The successful application of the Transformer in image recognition shows the application potential of the Transformer in the image field. This article proposes an efficient and improved clothing plan based on ResNet-50. Firstly, in the feature extraction section, the ResNet-50 network structure embedded in the Transformer module is used to improve the network’s receptive field range and feature extraction ability. Secondly, dense jump connections are added to the ResNet-50 upsampling process, making full use of feature extraction information at each stage, further improving the quality of the generated image. The network consists of three steps: the sketch stage, which aims to predict the color distribution of clothing and obtain watercolor images without gradients and shadows. The second is the thinning stage, which refines the watercolor image into a clothing image with light and shadow effect; The third is the optimization stage, which combines the outputs of the first two stages to optimize the generation quality further. The experimental results show that the improved network’s IS and first input delay (FID) scores are 4.592 and 1.506, respectively. High-quality clothing images can be generated only by inputting line drawings and a few color points. Compared with the existing methods, the image generated by this network has excellent advantages in realism and accuracy. This method can combine various feature information of images, improve retrieval accuracy, has strong robustness and practicability, and can provide a reference for the daily work of fashion designers.
