Description
Summary:In monitoring fashion trend and managing inventory, promptly detecting and identifying popular fashion fabric material is crucial for manufacturers and sellers. However, most traditional fabric detection are working on raw material(e.g. a block of raw fabric material with a solid background), which is not robust enough to handle complex fashion images(e.g. a human model and complex backgrounds). To address this problem, this paper proposes a lightweight and efficient fashion fabric detection algorithm named FF-YOLO, based on the YOLOv8 architecture. First, we introduce a Simple Attetion Module (SimAM) in the backbone to improve the feature extraction capability of the model. Furthermore, we propose a Lightweight Multi-Level Asymmetry Detector Head (LADH) to replace the head, improving the computational efficiency of the model’s inference process. Last, we replace the original loss function with Wise-IoU to improve the localization ability of the detection box. The experimental results show that FF-YOLO achives an average accuracy of 75.5% and a frames per second (FPS) of 105 for fashion fabric detection. Compared to the original YOLOv8 model, the mAP is improved by 2.9% and the FPS is improved by 6 frames. Meanwhile, the floating point operations per second (FLOPS) computational complexity is reduced by 5%. The results show our method proves to be effective and lightweight in fashion fabric detection tasks.
