Lace Fabric Image Retrieval Using Siamese Neural Network

An efficient lace fabric image retrieval method based on DCNN learning features is proposed in this paper. Fine-tuning with Siamese Neural Network is used to learn effective feature of lace fabric image. During the process of training the Siamese Neural Network, hard negative pairs are selective to achieve fast convergence and good performance. The DCNN learning features are combined with the unique shape feature to enable accurate and efficient retrieval of massive image data. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of retrieval performance of the proposed algorithm and possible practical application of the retrieval system in lace fabric industry to improve management efficiency.
