technologies, we propose a system that could
revolutionize the process of wardrobe management
and styling into an interesting, precise, and simple
experience for the user.
6 ALGORITHMS
6.1 Examples of Pretrained Models
(Hugging Face)
Algorithm: Deep Learning Models Based on
Transformers.
Purpose: Hugging Face models are optimized for
complex data, i.e. images and text (mainly
transformer architectures). These models are
optimized for understanding and classifying based on
learned representations of content. To narrow down
this error, you will have to train these models on your
dataset and consequently, you will have new models
that can be used to classify clothing into categories
such as top wear, bottom wear etc. This is the
classification process that helps the assistant to
analyses and categorize a user's wardrobe. The
Hugging Face platform offers many pre-trained
models that save time and computational
requirements when comparing training from scratch
to a pre-trained model, allowing the quick and
efficient use of a fashion assistant with reduced
labeled inputs. Moreover, transformers are capable of
capturing both local and global features in images,
improving their capacity to recognize clothing items
across challenging conditions (e.g., changing light or
perspective).
6.2 Gemini 1.5 Model
Algorithm: proprietary AI/ML model (most likely
using various deep learning techniques)
Intent: It utilizes the Gemini 1.5 model to provide
personalized clothing recommendations based on
user data like body shape, skin tone, and style
preferences. It is likely to incorporate multiple
machine learning techniques such as neural networks
to detect complex relations between clothing item's
features and a user's preferences. Because the model
is flexible enough to use many variables such as
gender, occasion and fashion trends it can give
extremely targeted recommendations. As an example,
it might suggest an outfit based on a user’s body
shape that is proportional and enhances someone’s
personal style. The retraining process allows the
model to better adjust to user feedback and to improve
over time. This helps keep the recommendations fresh
and tailored to the user's evolving taste over time, or
in light of new style trends.
6.3 Image Processing (OpenCV)
Algorithm: Computer Vision Techniques (e.g., Edge
Detection, Contour Analysis)
Functionality: The OpenCV (Open Source Computer
Vision Library) is an important part of the fashion
assistant as this library is used in the assistant to
understand about the images and helps extract the
useful features for clothing recommendations. These
include the image processing algorithms that allow
OpenCV to characterize shape, size, and fabric of
clothing items. For instance, edge detection
techniques assist in determining the contours of an
object, enabling the system to differentiate between
various types of clothing, like dresses, pants, or shirts.
Contour analysis refines this process even further,
aiding in the detection of the outlined edges of
individual clothing pieces in the versions uploaded,
especially beneficial in context with overlapping or
cluttered images. Based on color theory or references
from past experience, Color Detection can be used to
identify colors, this can be a great application of
OpenCV as colors are directly related to the garment
and one can classify various colors of clothes. The
library's real-time processing capabilities make the
fashion assistant efficient, delivering instant
feedback, crucial for an interactive user experience.
This is why real-time tasks like pattern recognition,
object detection, and feature extraction are handled
well by OpenCV.
6.4 Color Detection (K-means
Clustering
Algorithm: K-means (machine learning algorithm)
Purpose: The K-means clustering is an unsupervised
machine learning algorithm used for segmenting
grouping items in data based on similarity by
understanding how K- means clustering works,
fashion clothing color detection could be achieved by
multiple methods of K- clustering. The K- means
clustering algorithm works by clustering pixels in an
image with similar colors, allowing it to identify color
clusters. This is how a fashion assistant would be able
to know what the main colors are in one clothing
piece, such as a dress or a shirt. The primary advantage
of K-means cluster the tone of using mean values for
color detection is its simplicity and efficiency. After
the image has been split into color clusters using the
algorithm, the assistant will identify which cluster is
characteristic of the colors used in the clothing piece.
