  • Fashionpedia: Ontology, Segmentation, and an Attribute Localization Dataset
    Fashionpedia: Ontology, Segmentation, and an Attribute Localization Dataset Menglin Jia?1, Mengyun Shi?1;4, Mikhail Sirotenko?3, Yin Cui?3, Claire Cardie1, Bharath Hariharan1, Hartwig Adam3, Serge Belongie1;2 1Cornell University 2Cornell Tech 3Google Research 4Hearst Magazines Abstract. In this work we explore the task of instance segmentation with attribute localization, which unifies instance segmentation (detect and segment each object instance) and fine-grained visual attribute cat- egorization (recognize one or multiple attributes). The proposed task requires both localizing an object and describing its properties. To illus- trate the various aspects of this task, we focus on the domain of fashion and introduce Fashionpedia as a step toward mapping out the visual aspects of the fashion world. Fashionpedia consists of two parts: (1) an ontology built by fashion experts containing 27 main apparel categories, 19 apparel parts, 294 fine-grained attributes and their relationships; (2) a dataset with everyday and celebrity event fashion images annotated with segmentation masks and their associated per-mask fine-grained at- tributes, built upon the Fashionpedia ontology. In order to solve this challenging task, we propose a novel Attribute-Mask R-CNN model to jointly perform instance segmentation and localized attribute recogni- tion, and provide a novel evaluation metric for the task. Fashionpedia is available at: https://fashionpedia.github.io/home/. Keywords: Dataset, Ontology, Instance Segmentation, Fine-Grained, Attribute, Fashion 1 Introduction Recent progress in the field of computer vision has advanced machines' ability to recognize and understand our visual world, showing significant impacts in arXiv:2004.12276v2 [cs.CV] 18 Jul 2020 fields including autonomous driving [52], product recognition [32,14], etc.

  • Basic Bodice Construction.Pdf
    Fitted & Flattered - Basic Bodice Construction ​ ​ ​ Illinois State Square & Round Dance Convention July 2019 Taught by Karen Dilley Let’s start out with a few questions: 1. Why do we wear what we do for Square Dancing? 2 Do you wear the same size now that you did at age 25? 3. When square dancing was at its zenith, did the women dress the way we do? 4. Have square dance clothing styles evolved since its zenith? For the better? From what I have observed, the majority of women today are wearing prairie skirts (with elastic waists) and peasant blouses. Why? Is the prairie skirt flattering to you? Is the peasant blouse flattering to you? Hopefully, this class with give you the tools to make dress bodices or blouses that flatter you. I am also hopeful that this class with encourage you to explore designs outside your comfort zone. Taking into consideration, your age, your body shape, proportions, and your height, you need to figure out what flatters and what doesn’t. Fit is a major component in how flattering a garment will be on you, but you also need to keep in mind fabric type & color. My main resources for this course are “The Palmer/Pletsch Complete Guide To Fitting” and the Curvy Sewing Collective https://curvysewingcollective.com/curvy-tutorials. Some of the pages ​ ​ in this document have been copied or paraphrased. I encourage you to find and follow these resources. What Size Pattern Should I Buy? Today’s patterns are based on these measurements: Size 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 Bust 29.5 30.5 30.5 32.5 34 36 38 40 42 44 46 48 Wais 22 23 24 25 26.5 28 30 32 34 37 39 41.5 t Hip 31.5 32.5 33.5 34.5 36 38 40 42 44 46 48 50 1 I’ve indicated the Bust measurement in red, because this is the most critical measurement when ​ ​ purchasing a pattern for bodice construction.

  • Evolution of Attire
    EVOLUTION OF SQUARE DANCE ATTIRE B-018 INTRODUCTION At this particular point in time when just about anything goes - no holds barred – it is nice to know that at a square dance there is something "special" about the way we dress. It is special because ladies look like ladies and you don't need a program to tell the hims from the hers. At a square dance, even a usually plain-appearing damsel becomes a doll decked out in petticoats, colored slippers and a pretty, full-skirted dress. And the male - the man is a man, sparkling in western pants and shirt, perhaps boots or boot-shoes and - ah, yes, a tie - bolo, bow, string or neckerchief - but nevertheless a tie! Now why is all this such a big deal? Because SQUARE DANCING IS A BIG DEAL! Folks who see you dressed up know you're a square dancer. It's not a uniform; it's your individuality that's showing. There are those who say that the way we dress reflects the way we feel about square dancing. The contents of this booklet – 1. Evolution of the Square Dance -- indicates that our favorite hobby has come a long way from the 1400's and has been in a state of continuous evolution by the changing of calls, technology, dance facilities, etc. and depicts the various costumes and how they changed as time has progressed. 2. Our Square Dance Image -- points out the importance of our square dance image to the public and other non-dancers. 3. The Club Costume -- a general discussion of the square dance costume.

A forum for the exchange of information between Callers & Dancers BE CONSIDERATE OF OTHERS! Written by : Geoff Clarke Do YOU use 'palm to palm' contact, or do you close your hand over others? Do you grab thumbs? On arm turns, do you grip the other arm or maintain gentle pressure? Are you aware of what kind of hand contact that you're using? Are you gentle or rough? Think about it the next time you're dancing …. Please !! I HAND CONTACT !! AND THERE WILL BE MANY A DANCER OUT THERE MOST GRATEFUL THAT YOU I'm usually not one to "harp" on things DID ! HOWEVER, in the past month or so I've had a ___________________________________________ number of dancers come to me to 'complain' about their hands and/or shoulder being "hurt" yes, HURT, If you have any questions or comments you can send by other dancers ! them directly to me by email at: The prime problem has been the 'gripping' & 'holding' [email protected] or by “snail mail” during Ocean Waves & the ensuing Swing Thrus, but to the Square Times Editor, who’ll pass it along. All also with Arm Turns (all) & even Courtesy Turns ! questions will be answered and those that would be of interest to all will be published in this column, with SO, WHAT'S GOING ON ??. anonymity ensured unless you request otherwise. The first issue of Callers Corner dealt with 'hand Please keep your questions coming !! contact' to some degree, but I guess it NEEDS REPEATING, so here's some 'excerpts from that first column.
