# EquiFashion-DB (Mini)

**EquiFashion-DB (Mini)** is a compact subset of EquiFashion-DB with **aligned multimodal signals** for controllable fashion generation: **image, text, pose, **.

**Full Dataset Public at:** https://drive.google.com/file/d/13TS1U0IY8oG1gjMvsGCQCXrxLxm2SH-Z/view?usp=drive_link

## Structure (current `EquiFashion_DB/`)

```text
EquiFashion_DB/
├── train/               # training images
├── test/                # test images
├── train_pose/          # pose assets (json/ + pose/ visualizations)
├── train.json           # train captions (list of {gt, caption})
├── test.json            # test captions (list of {gt, caption})
└── train_pose.json      # train captions + pose path (list of {gt, caption, pose})
```

## Annotation format (as provided)

**Train captions** (`train.json`)

```json
{ "gt": "009292_0.jpg", "caption": "Sweater, Commute, Homewear, ..." }
```

**Train captions + pose path** (`train_pose.json`)

```json
{ "gt": "009292_0.jpg", "caption": "Sweater, ...", "pose": "train_pose/pose/009292_0.jpg" }
```

**Pose keypoints JSON** (`train_pose/json/<gt_stem>.json`)

- Key `candidate`: list of \([x, y, confidence, joint_index]\)

```json
{
  "candidate": [[282.0, 3.0, 0.54, 0.0], [247.0, 58.0, 0.92, 2.0]]
}
```

## Modalities

- **Image**: `train/<gt>` and `test/<gt>`
- **Text**: `train.json`, `test.json` (captions)
- **Pose**: `train_pose/json/*.json` (keypoints) and `train_pose/pose/*.jpg` (visualization)
- **Sketch**: `train_sketch/<gt_stem>.png`
- **Fabric**: `train_fabric/<gt_stem>.png` (fixed-size texture patch)

## Data construction pipeline

The mini version follows the EquiFashion-DB construction pipeline:

![EquiFashion data pipeline](equifashionDB_pipeline_diagram.png)

1. **Public sources → raw pool**  
   Multiple fashion datasets (captioning, recognition, segmentation, editing) are merged into a raw pool with images, captions/attributes, categories and pose/parsing when available.
2. **Cleaning & quality filtering**  
   - Remove broken images, heavy occlusions and extreme truncation.  
   - Discard samples with invalid / missing key joints or inconsistent parsing when pose is available.  
3. **Resolution & category normalization**  
   - Crop/resize all images to \(512 \times 512\) around the main garment / person.  
   - Map dataset-specific labels into a unified garment taxonomy (40+ categories).
4. **Multimodal enrichment (this repo)**  
   Using the `equifashion_pipeline/` code:
   - Generate Canny **sketch maps** inside garment regions (from pose keypoints when available).  
   - Sample high-frequency **fabric patches** from garment regions.  
   - Normalize **pose** JSON into a unified keypoint format.
5. **Packaging**  
   Final JSON manifests (`train.json`, `test.json`, `train_pose.json`) store standardized paths and captions, with all modalities aligned by filename stem.
