Partial matching of garment panel shapes with dynamic sketching design

Abstract

Fashion industry and textile manufacturing in past decade, have been starting to reapply enhanced intelligent CAD process technologies. In this paper, we propose a partial panel matching system to facilitate the typical garment design process. This process provides recommendations to the designer during the panel design process and performs partial matching of the garment panel shapes. There are three main parts in our partial matching system. First, we make use of a Bezier-based sketch regularization to pre-process the panel sketch data. Second, we propose a set of bi-segment panel shape descriptors to describe and enrich the local features of the shape for partial matching. Finally, based on our previous work, we add an interactive sketching input environment to design garments. Experiment results show the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed system.
