Creating Capsule Wardrobes from Fashion Images
We propose to automatically create capsule wardrobes. Given an inventory of
candidate garments and accessories, the algorithm must assemble a minimal set
of items that provides maximal mix-and-match outfits. We pose the task as a
subset selection problem. To permit efficient subset selection over the space
of all outfit combinations, we develop submodular objective functions capturing
the key ingredients of visual compatibility, versatility, and user-specific
preference. Since adding garments to a capsule only expands its possible
outfits, we devise an iterative approach to allow near-optimal submodular
function maximization. Finally, we present an unsupervised approach to learn
visual compatibility from "in the wild" full body outfit photos; the
compatibility metric translates well to cleaner catalog photos and improves
over existing methods. Our results on thousands of pieces from popular fashion
websites show that automatic capsule creation has potential to mimic skilled
fashionistas in assembling flexible wardrobes, while being significantly more
scalable.Comment: Accepted to CVPR 201
