Abstract

Topological data analysis (TDA) is a method of feature extraction based on data topological structure. Image feature extraction using TDA has been shown to be superior to other feature extraction techniques in some problems, so it has recently received the attention of researchers. In this paper, clothing image retrieval based on topology features and color texture features is studied. The main work is as follows: (1) Based on the analysis of image data by persistent homology, the feature construction method of a topology feature histogram is proposed, which can represent the ruler of image local topological data, and make up for the shortcomings of traditional feature extraction methods. (2) The improvement of Wasserstein distance is presented, while the similarity measure method named topology feature histogram distance is proposed. (3) Because the single feature has some problems such as the incomplete description of image information and poor robustness, the clothing image retrieval is realized by combining the topology feature with the color texture feature. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm, namely topology feature histogram + corresponding distance, can effectively reduce the computation time while ensuring the accuracy. Compared with the method using only color texture, the retrieval rate of top5 is improved by 14.9%. Compared with the method using cubic complex + Wasserstein distance, the retrieval rate of top5 is improved by 3.8%, while saving 3.93 s computation time.
