Study on the Emotion Factor Space of Men's T-Shirt

The style of clothing is complex and changeable, there are many kinds of clothing styles, different styles have different emotional expression, but the current description of clothing emotions is mostly qualitative characterization, and the words to express which have no systemic analysis until now. To establish the clothing semantic emotions space is the important prerequisite for computer recognition of clothing images from emotion made and quantitative evaluation. In the study, the clothing emotions of men's T-shirt are investigated from the choice of description words, voting on the web, initially selection, correlation analysis, and factor analysis, etc. A 3-D space is got for the emotional factors finally, so each image will possess a corresponded 3-D coordinates in the space, which can make it possible to define emotion similarity between images in the factor space, as well as to evaluate and index images of men's T-shirt from the point of clothing emotion in the future. It is the basis to achieve machine evaluation, semantic identification and retrieval of image emotion for men's T-shirt in the next work. The method can also be extended to other type of clothing.
