Associate Professor Yudai Homma of the Institute of Industrial Science, University of Tokyo and Fashion Press, an online media company, have created a database of 160 collections of photographs for both men and women, and built a system to mathematically analyze the latest fashion trends.
According to the Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo, fashion brands such as Gucci and Prada present their collections twice a year in Paris and Milan.However, due to the huge number of fashions announced, it was difficult to find the fashion you wanted to see by searching only for brands and seasons.
Therefore, the research group organized the format for centrally managing the image data of each fashion and performed conversion suitable for mathematical analysis.Utilizing the mathematical method "clustering" for classifying a large number of data into several groups with similar tendencies, we implemented it as a system that can be easily handled by editors.
As a result, it has become possible to search across fashions by color and item type, while it was only possible to search by brand so far, and it is now possible to understand how to coordinate without worrying about the brand. rice field.
This will allow portal sites to introduce the latest trends in new ways, while allowing the general reader to pursue more sophisticated coordination.
