The most of the IR focus on the method for searching the document, so the keyword-based IR system is not able to reflect the feature information of the image. In order to overcome these limitations, we have developed a system that can search similar images based on the vector information of images, and it can search for similar images based on sketches. The proposed system uses the GAN to up sample the sketch to the image level, convert the image to the vector through the CNN, and then retrieve the similar image using the vector space model. The model was learned using fashion image and the image retrieval system was developed. As a result, the result is showed meaningful performance.

In addition, an intense competition depending on the diversity of consumer demands women's clothing brands show changes in market organization such as diversification of the circulation market and general market depression in this rapidly changing fashion environment. Companies tend to use fashion VMD (a marketing-strategic approach) as a differentiation method to create a fashion brand shop image as brand differentiation becomes difficult due to generalization of techniques. This study analyzes forms and types of VMD recognized by consumers within this marketing communication environment and Q methodology was adapted to analyze the subjective internal order of individuals. First, a set of stimuli that presented the brand name and another without it were prepared (two sets in total) to examine the effects in the presentation of the brand name. Stimulants with the brand name were presented to the subjects by the same method after an experiment through stimuli without the brand name presented. As a result, VMD recognition factors were classified into 4 Q factors in cases of stimuli without brand names and 2 factors in cases of stimuli with brand names. This indicates that among brand functions, the role of simplifying information management and grasping the thoughts of consumers was applied. This study has a practical value of presenting VMD directions of each brand image based on the factors discovered.
