In order to achieve this, a marked seam image database and parametric seam models have been set up. Given a real seam image, we first identify the type of the seam image based on our marked semn image database and the seam parameters are parsed automatically by our sewing thread estimation method. Second the seam initial model is generated through the pre-defined parametric seam models. A garment model with the seam structure is finally obtained based on the seam position infrmation which users have marked on the garment. Moreover. we verify the effectiveness of our method with numerous experiments.展开更多
