Clothing Segmentation and Fabrics Classification Dataset

Project Overview:

Objective

We embarked on creating a comprehensive dataset to assist in the segmentation of various clothing items and their classification based on fabric types. Our primary goal was to foster innovation in fashion technology, including retail analytics and virtual fitting rooms.

Scope

Our team diligently compiled a vast array of images, showcasing a wide range of clothing items across different body types and poses. Each image was meticulously segmented and classified by fabric type, ensuring a rich and diverse dataset.

Sources

Established partnerships with prominent clothing brands and online fashion retailers.

Data Collection Metrics

Total Images Compiled: 45,000
Categorized as follows:
Tops & Shirts: 13,500
Dresses: 11,000
Pants & Skirts: 10,500
Traditional/Ethnic Wear: 10,000

Annotation Process

Stages

Image Pre-processing: We standardized the images for resolution, lighting, and orientation.
Pattern Annotation: Each clothing item was meticulously annotated with details like “stripes,” “floral,” and “geometric.”
Validation: Fashion industry experts were employed to verify the accuracy of these pattern annotations.

Annotation Metrics

Total Pattern Annotations: 45,000
Average Annotation Time per Image: 3 minutes

Quality Assurance

Automated Verification: We used early-stage pattern classification models to cross-verify results with human annotations.
Peer Review: Selected images underwent a secondary evaluation by different experts.
Inter-annotator Agreement: Complex patterns were reviewed by multiple annotators to achieve consensus.

QA Metrics:

Patterns Validated through Automated Checks: 22,500 (50% of total images)
Peer-reviewed Annotations: 13,500 (30% of total images)
Inconsistencies Detected and Rectified: 675 (1.5% of total images)

Conclusion

The Clothing Segmentation and Fabrics Classification Dataset is poised to revolutionize the nexus between AI and the fashion industry. By providing an in-depth understanding of clothing items and their fabrics, it lays the groundwork for advanced virtual fitting experiences, intelligent inventory management, and nuanced consumer insights in fashion retail.
