Fabric objective measurements for commercial 3D virtual garment simulation

Purpose – The aim of this paper was to explore the use of objective fabric parameters in 3D virtual garment simulation. Design/methodology/approach – Two methods (fabric assurance by simple testing and Browzwear's fabric testing kit) of obtaining objective fabric measurements and the derived parameters for virtual garment simulation were studied. Three parameters (extension, shear and bend) were investigated to establish whether the selected virtual software derived comparable parameters from the objective fabric measurements. Findings – It was found that the conversion from the objective fabric measurement data to the required parameters for virtual simulation varied significantly. Manual analysis of the objective measurements showed the two test methods to be comparable for extension and shear parameters; However, some adjustment to the test method was required. The third parameter to be investigated (bending rigidity) concluded that the test methods and results obtained from the two different apparatus...

Automatic pose-independent 3D garment fitting

Given a virtual garment model on a reference human model, we propose an automated 3D garment fitting system that fits the garment model to a target human model. The proposed method can transfer garment models between human models without any user guidance even when the reference and target human models have different poses. Our goal is not to resize or deform the original garment model according to the target human model but to yield realistic fitting results of the given garment on the target human models. Using pose-independent segmentation and cloth simulation, we achieve realistic and automatic fitting results in reasonable running time. Our method can replace the time-consuming manual fitting process that is necessary for many applications that use virtual garments, such as games, animations, CAD tools and online clothing stores.

Parametric human body modelling system for virtual garment fitting

Modelling customer-tailored 3D human models is an important problem in virtual garment fitting systems. However, manual generation of such models often requires high cost and is considerably difficult for common users lacking the knowledge of computer graphics. To solve this, we propose a parametric human modelling method. In our study, the 3D body scan data of 250 different individuals are gathered, and for each model, 128 feature points are specified. The modelling parameters are then extracted by analysing the feature point statistics. Using these parameters, we generate a new set of feature points satisfying the input body sizes, and interpolate those points with a surface. As a result, a 3D human model satisfying the given constraints is obtained. Since our method uses only a few parameters, even a novice user can generate or modify the model easily. Further, since the method involves only simple calculations, the computational cost is low.

Research on Triangular Meshes Generation of 2D Garment Pattern

Virtual garment design and flexible fabric simulation are the major research focuses in the field of computer graphics. The two-dimension contour design and triangular meshes generation of garments are the basis of 3D virtual garment stitching and dynamic simulation. In the development environment of VC++ and OpenGL, in this paper three kinds of design methods are used to obtain the 2D contour of garments. Based on the regular grid method, the coordinate perturbation technique and the improved Delaunay triangulation method are used to realize the triangular meshes generation of the 2D garment. In order to improve the efficiency and readability of the algorithm, the standard template library technology is also adopted. The experimental results show that this method can achieve the requirement of the real-time simulation.

상하의 의류 영상을 이용한 가상 의류 착의 시스템

본 연구에서는 PC상에서 인체 3차원 데이터에 상하의 의류를 중첩 착의하는 가상 착의 시스템을 소개한다. 이를 위하여, 레이저 스캔 방식으로 얻은 인체 3차원 데이터와 의류 앞뒷면의 모습을 촬영하여 얻은 의류 디지털 데이터를 이용한다. 2차원의 앞뒷면 의류 디지털 데이터에는 의류 소재 내 질점 간의 장력이 반영되었고, 인체 데이터에의 착의 과정에는 마찰력과 중력을 적용해 주었다. 하의 착용 시에는 마찰력과 중력에 추가적으로 혁대 개념을 도입하여 흘러내리는 의류를 고정하였고, 하의를 착의한 인체데이터위에 상의를 착의하는 중첩 착의 방법을 제시하였다. 본 시스템이 지닌 장점은 복잡한 패턴을 이용하여 착의하는 다른 연구와 달리, 의류의 앞뒷면만을 이용하여 착의하면서도 현실감은 뒤지지 않는다는 것에 있다. 현재 의류전자상거래 시 의류의 앞뒷면만을 전시하여 판매하는 방법과 유사한 방식으로 온라인 판매가 이루어지나, 착의 모습을 제공할 수 없는 기존 방식과 달리 3차원의 착의 모습까지 제공하게 되어, 의류 판매의 방식을 바꾸게 할 것으로 기대한다. A virtual garment fitting system which fits the top and bottom of a garment on 3D body data is introduced. This system uses the laser scanned 3D body data and the digital images photographed the front and back of a garment. The digital images are modeled to reflect tensions among particles in the images and the friction and gravity effects are considered in the fitting process to the body data. When a bottom is fitted, a virtual belt to hold the bottom in the waist is introduced since gravity effects pull down it. Also the process for fitting the top and bottom on layers is proposed here. The system has the strengths that it uses only the front and back image of a garment instead of using complicated patterns of a garment, and provides a realistic fit result as a 3D figure. As on-line retailing shop in present displays front and back images of garments, this system also does. However this system provides a differentiated service to user than present retailing shop as showing a 3D fit image. It will make a new trend in online shop retailing of garment.

This study did a comparative analysis on the patterns of several male bodice slopers, followed by evaluating the appearance through a virtual garment simulation, which used a three-dimensional virtual garment system. Through this process, this study attempted to comparatively analyze the suitability of the garment or each sloper according to body parts. The analysis of the drawing formulas of bodices slopers had the following results. With a standard chest size, all six slopers had a 1:4 ratio for a front and back chest size; 1:5 or 1:6 for a front and back breast size 1:5 or 1:4 for a neck base circumference; and 1:20 or 1:12 for the chest size. When comparing the anthropometric figures and the actual measurements of each body part for the bodice slopers, the actual measurements secured extra amounts in the drawing process. The evaluation results for appearance of the six men`s bodice slopers showed that the slopers used by companies (E and F) had top scores followed by the slopers made for (C and D), while the sloper for education (A) received the lowest scores. Regarding the results of the variance analysis verifying the significant difference between the slopers, twenty-five items had significant differences with the exception of four items on the front side and one item on the backside.

A Study of the Relationship between 3D Model and 3D Garment Simulation

This research project investigates the differences of various body locations (between 3D body models) and drapes garments digitally onto 3D body models. Three different subject models will be given explication. It consisted of (1) data collection of three-dimensional scans (2) creation of 3D body representations (3) comparison of avatar shapes and measurements (4) visualization and assessment of 3D body models and their 3D virtual garments. The study tests a theory of impact by differences in avatars by pattern design. A visual inspection of avatars showed clear differences between the six avatar types (in the generating process); however, there was notably less difference between 3D garment simulations based upon the six avatars produced. This demonstrated that there was less influence on the 3D garments than was predicted after a visual inspection of the avatars.

온라인 의류구매 시 가상착의 시뮬레이션 활용 및 선호도 분석

Recent rapid development of computer, information communication and Web service technologies is exerting considerable effects on all industrial areas. As such digital technologies are also introduced to the clothing and fashion industry and create 'virtual garment environment' consisting of 3D virtual bodies, virtual garments and virtual try-on systems, consumers are now able to try virtual garments on their virtual body online. This study was conducted in order to analyze consumers' tendency of clothing purchase using 3D virtual simulation technology, which is increasing attention throughout the world, and to propose strategies on the development of virtual try-on technology for activating apparel online shopping. The subjects of this study were men and women aged 18 or older living in the North Carolina State, U.S., and a questionnaire survey was conducted with them on their tendency of apparel online shopping and their preference for real garments and virtual garments. According to the results of this study, consumers' awareness of apparel shopping using virtual try-on was still low. Moreover, in the results of surveying consumers' purchase preference for real garments and virtual garments, preference was highest for real garment (P), which was followed by virtual garments OA, OB and BB. Based on the results of this study, for the activation of apparel online shopping using virtual simulation technology, it is considered necessary to provide services implementing virtual try-on similar to consumers' actual try-on. This requires further active research and technology development on virtual try-on simulation using digital technologies.

Comparative Assessment of Virtual Garments using Direct and Manual Avatars

The purpose of this paper is to compare two avatars made using direct and manual methods and to evaluate the fit and appearance of two virtual garments on the direct and manual avatars. In this study, two subjects were measured by (TC) 2 body scanner and the avatars and virtual garments were created by OptiTex software. The direct avatar was made by the direct importation of 3D body scan data and the manual avatar was made by manual input from extracted body measurement. Two virtual garments in a tank-top were evaluated by distance, transparency, and stretch maps. In the results of comparing difference of the direct and manual avatars, the bust and back of the manual avatar are protruded slightly more than that of the direct avatar and the manual avatar is slightly larger dimensions at the bust, waist, abdomen, and hip area in the side view in case of subject 1 and 2. In the results of comparing difference of the fit and appearance of two virtual garments on the direct and manual avatars, in case of subject 1 and 2, the back of the virtual garment on the manual avatar are protruded more than that of the direct avatar. Also, the ease in the bust area of the virtual garment on the manual avatar with a projected bust area was smaller than that of the virtual garment on the direct avatar and the stretch of that of the manual avatar was also high in the bust area. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic information in the apparel industry using virtual try-on technology.

Drape simulation of three-dimensional virtual garment enabling fabric properties

This study analyzes how the silhouette of virtual garments applied to virtual avatars is altered according to various virtual fabric properties. This study measures the properties of real fabrics that include a charmeuse (#F1) and gabardine (#F2) using the Fabric Analysis by Simple Testing system; in addition, the material properties of different real fabrics were applied to that of the virtual fabric. It then evaluates the drape stiffness and silhouette of the virtual garments according to the different fabrics. This study also compared the virtual garment silhouette of sample fabric #F1-S that changed only the stretch property of the sample fabric #F1 with the virtual garment silhouette of sample fabric #F1. The results show that the fabric properties including bend, thickness, weight, stretch, shear values affect the drape stiffness, silhouette, and fit of the virtual garment simulated on virtual avatars and may be used for the realistic virtual garment technology.

Second, according to the results of the new slacks patterns appearance evaluation, the new slacks pattern scored more highly than the existing pattern in silhouette and ease amount, confirming that the new slacks pattern is appropriate for the abdomen-obese men. Also, the new slacks pattern was evaluated allowing proper space length of waist, abdomen and hip. Virtual models of production through data from a 3D body scan, pattern draft and virtual garment digital program were applied to a prototypic design method in order to enhance the fitness of ready-made garments. The use of the virtual twin made it impossible to comprehend the appearances and ease correspondent to motions. In order to evaluate wearing fitness, therefore, the system should be improved so as to change arm positions and perform various motions.

Sketch-based wrinkle generation for three-dimensional virtual garment prototyping

Wrinkles and folds are the most important properties determining the style of garment. In this paper, we propose a sketch-based method to generate arbitrary wrinkle shapes for three-dimensional (3D) garment prototyping. The user is required to draw wrinkle strokes on the original garment model in the front view and the back view. These two-dimensional strokes are then transferred into 3D shapes in terms of mesh deformations including Loop subdivision, Laplacian mesh optimization, and mean-value encoding/decoding. Various examples have validated the effectiveness of our proposed method, which can be regarded as a novel approach in 3D garment prototyping.

가상착의에 의한 환편물 상의의 패턴 설계 방법 연구

We have made knitwear in a different way from the typical woven pattern; it does not have the dart, even for women's tops. The purpose of this research was to compare the fit and appearance of the torso pattern for circular knitted fabric between virtual try-on garments and real garments. First, a woman in her 20's was scanned by a 3D body scanner, and thus producing a virtual avatar. I prepared knit patterns and created a torso pattern appropriate for circular knitted fabric. Next, I measured the body size of the avatar. The 2D patterns for the torso and sleeves were developed using the Yuka Super ALPHA : Plus. The 3D virtual garments were made from the imported 2D patterns and were then tried on the 3D virtual avatars. Finally, the fit of the real garments and the virtual garments was compared. While the shape of the virtual try-on garments were similar to the real garments, the folding and sagging were different. This study found the length was the same as woven wear. However the actual bust size and the clothing size were the same which is not a typical characteristic of woven wear. In the case of hem measurement, more space was needed than actual body size but less space was needed than in woven patterns.
