Color-Mood-Aware Clothing Re-texturing

In this paper, we present a novel color-mood-aware technique to re-texture clothing in a photograph. An efficient classification algorithm is developed to classify clothing textures using color mood scheme. To re-texture the clothing, our approach first computes the gradient maps for the cloth region to be replaced and then calculates the texture distortion coordinates on the projected cloth region according to the gradient maps. After the user selects a target clothing texture from the classified clothing texture database, the lighting and shading effects on the original photograph is transferred using the HSV color space. Experimental results show that the proposed approach successfully re-textures the clothes in photographs while preserving the geometry and lighting features.
