System and method for extraction of design elements of fashion products

A method for extracting design elements of a fashion product, the method comprising:

• accessing a catalogue image of a fashion product;
• segmenting the catalogue image of the fashion product to determine an article of interest of the fashion product;
• generating an outer contour of the article of interest using a contour tracing technique;
• analyzing coordinates of the outer contour based generated upon convexity defects of the outer contour to identify one or more design points corresponding to the design elements;
• extracting one or more design elements of the fashion product using the one or more design points identified;
• determining a plurality of convex hull points of the outer contour generated;
• selecting a subset of convex hull points from the plurality of convex hull points determined, based upon a contour length between adjacent convex hull points;
• determining one or more convexity defect points on the contour by using the subset of convex hull points selected;
• and
• extracting the one or more design elements of the fashion product using the one or more convexity defect points determined and the subset of convex hull points selected.
