Abstract: Deep learning has played a huge role in computer vision fields due to its ability to extract underlying and complex features of input images. Deep learning is applied to complex vision tasks to perform image recognition and classification. Recently, Apparel classification, is an application of computer vision, has been intensively explored and investigated. This paper proposes an effective framework, called DeepAutoDNN, based on deep learning algorithms for apparel classification. DeepAutoDNN framework combines a deep autoencoder with deep neural networks to extract the complex patterns and high-level features of fashion images in supervised manner. These features are utilized via categorical classifier to predict the given image to the right label. To evaluate the performance and investigate the efficiency of the proposed framework, several experiments have been conducted on the Fashion-MNIST dataset, which consists of 70000 images: 60000 and 10000 images for training and test, respectively. The results have shown that the proposed framework can achieve accuracy of 93.4%. In the future, this framework performance can be improved by utilizing generative adversarial networks and its variant.
