Hi, I am developing a Fabric Pattern and Colour Matching System. I hope to have the right thought process on this project. The system is to find matching Database fabric image based on user’s input of random Testing fabric images. The system is as follow:
- Database consists of a number of fabric images, of various colour & pattern (as shown in the attachment).
- User inputs random testing images (might / might not exist in the database).
- System finds the EXACT matching database fabric image (if available); or shows ALMOST matched database image.
I am wondering what colour space would be more suitable for this system. HSV, RGB or other colour space? Besides, what pattern recognition / feature extraction + classification methods should I use? Currently, I have planned to use normalized cross correlation for pattern recognition; however, besides this method, are there any other better pattern recognition methods?
Any links to similar/existing projects is highly appreciated as well!
[Add. Info: Full database fabric image & testing images can be found in this Google Drive link https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B3kRUtBpzKROamx3S1dkLUtNRFE?usp=sharing
Thank you in advance for your help!
