Fractal-based texture and HSV color features for fabric image retrieval

摘要

Wide range of products such as clothing, bed linen, curtains, and shoes, use fabrics as main raw material. Fabrics have various types of materials, colors and patterns. Harmony in combining the various types of fabrics will affect the beauty of the resulted product. A system that can be used to retrieve some fabrics similar to a fabrics sample automatically will facilitate the combining process in creating a product. In this study, a fabrics image retrieval system using combination of fractal-based texture feature and HSV color feature is developed. The Canberra Distance is used to measure similarity between features vectors. The experiment which is done using two kinds of fabrics image datasets, i.e. ???batik??? and ???common???, gives average recall 94% and 92%, respectively.
