Introduction
Upgrades in consumption patterns mean that there is significant room for potential growth in the fashion industry. According to official statistics from different countries, the market value of the global apparel market is worth over USD 3 trillion. Although artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been evolving along with the fashion industry, there are still different challenges in different areas that need to be addressed.
To promote the development of the fashion industry, the Vision & Beauty Team of the Alibaba Group and the Institute of Textile and Clothing of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University are pleased to jointly launch a revolutionary dataset which integrates both professional fashion knowledge and machine learning formulation.
This challenge is focusing on one part of the dataset: keypoints detection of apparel. The analysis of apparel with computers could be easily affected by the dimension and shape of the apparel, distance and angle of shooting, or even how the apparel is displayed or the model is posing. Contestants are required to detect keypoints of apparel images. This task can help to improve the performance of applications such as alignment, recognition of the local attributes and auto-editing of the images of apparel.
