Fashion Culture Database: Construction of Database for World-wide Fashion Analysis

The paper presents a novel concept that analyzes and visualizes worldwide fashion styles. Our goal is to reveal web-based viral fashion styles. To achieve the fashion-based analysis, we have collected fashion culture database (FCDB), which consists of 76 million geo-tagged images in 16 cosmopolitan cities. The database allows us to grasp a trend of mixed fashion styles with a fashion-based descriptor and codeword vector. In order to unveil web-based fashion trends in the FCDB, we applied a simple technique that is a temporal subtraction between consecutive codeword vectors in two different times. In the experiments, we show the analysis of fashion trends and fashion-based city similarity in a social media. As the result of large-scale data collection, we achieved world-level fashion visualization.
