Relatable Clothing: Soft-Attention Mechanism for Detecting Worn/Unworn Objects

We have identified a need in visual relationship detection and biometrics related research for a dataset and model which focuses on person-clothing pairs. Previous to our Relatable Clothing dataset, there were no publicly available datasets usable for “worn” and “unw...

description We have identified a need in visual relationship detection and biometrics related research for a dataset and model which focuses on person-clothing pairs. Previous to our Relatable Clothing dataset, there were no publicly available datasets usable for &#x201C;worn&#x201D; and &#x201C;unworn&#x201D; clothing detection. In this paper we propose a novel visual relationship model architecture for &#x201C;worn&#x201D; and &#x201C;unworn&#x201D; clothing detection that makes use of a soft attention mechanism for feature fusion between a conventional ResNet backbone and our novel person-clothing mask feature extraction architecture. The best proposed model achieves 98.62&#x0025; accuracy, 99.50&#x0025; precision, 98.31&#x0025; recall, and 99.14&#x0025; specificity on the Relatable Clothing dataset, outperforming our previous iterations. We release our models which can be found on the Relatable Clothing GitHub repository (<uri>https://github.com/th-truong/relatable_clothing</uri>) for future research and applications into detecting and analyzing person-clothing pairs.
