Research on a Segmentation Algorithm for the Tujia Brocade Images Based on Unsupervised Gaussian Mixture Clustering

Tujia brocades are important carriers of Chinese Tujia national culture and art. It records the most detailed and real cultural history of Tujia nationality and is one of the National Intangible Cultural Heritage. Classic graphic elements are separated from Tujia brocade patterns to establish the Tujia brocade graphic element database, which is used for the protection and inheritance of traditional national culture. Tujia brocade dataset collected a total of more than 200 clear Tujia brocade patterns and was divided into seven categories, according to traditional meanings. The weave texture of a Tujia brocade is coarse, and the textural features of the background are obvious, so classical segmentation algorithms cannot achieve good segmentation effects. At the same time, deep learning technology cannot be used because there is no standard Tujia brocade dataset. Based on the above problems, this study proposes a method based on an unsupervised clustering algorithm for the segmentation of Tujia brocades. First, the cluster number K is calculated by fusing local binary patterns (LBP) and gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) characteristic values. Second, clustering and segmentation are conducted on each input Tujia brocade image by adopting a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to obtain a preliminary segmentation image, wherein the image yielded after preliminary segmentation is rough. Then, a method based on voting optimization and dense conditional random field (DenseCRF) (CRF denotes conditional random filtering) is adopted to optimize the image after preliminary segmentation and obtain the image segmentation results. Finally, the desired graphic element contour is extracted through interactive cutting. The contributions of this study include: (1) a calculation method for the cluster number K wherein the experimental results show that the effect of the clustering number K chosen in this paper is ideal; (2) an optimization method for the noise points of Tujia brocade patterns based on voting, which can effectively eliminate isolated noise points from brocade patterns.

Research on Augmented Reality Experience Design of Tujia Brocade Products Based on Emotion Cognition

Augmented reality technology is an extension of virtual reality. Voice input and output devices, image input and image display devices, touch-tap gesture action input and visual tracking devices are used in various computer systems to improve computer efficiency and human-computer interaction accuracy, which can improve the interactivity and user experience of augmented reality systems. Augmented reality technology superimposes the virtual world and the real world, and its final interactive operation has an enhanced effect on the senses of the participants. Augmented reality has been able to be used more maturely in many fields, and its use in the art field has become a new direction for designers to explore art and practice. This study explores the user’s emotional perception process of Tujia brocade products from the theoretical level, constructs an augmented reality experience model applied to Tujia brocade, and proposes a design process for the implementation of augmented reality.

National Characteristics and Art Composition Characteristics of Tujia Brocade Art

As one of China's national minorities, Tujia nationality has exerted an important role in the development course of modern national culture. In the development course of national culture of Tujia nationality, its brocade art inherited generation by generation has been extensively applied in art inheritance in modern society. It has also been applied in practical teaching to manifest the unique style and special artistic expression of Tujia brocade art. Under such a context, it is necessary to strengthen analysis on itsnational characteristics in the art development course and art composition characteristics. For this purpose, this paper makes special analysis on the national characteristics and art composition of Tujia brocade art in the sequence of analysis on the basic components of Tujia brocade art, analysis on its national characteristics and then detailed analysis on its composition characteristics. The author hopes to help people to understand the unique characteristics and results of Tujia brocade art after the analysis in this paper.
