In this study, a kind of intelligent garment coordination and try-on system for fashion retailing was proposed. Radio Frequency Identification （RFID） technology was used to identify customer and garment item automatically. The intelligent procedure for garment coordination recommendation using Artificial Neural Network （ANN） was developed to imitate fashion designers＇ decision-making on garment coordination. Virtual try-on algorithm based on the customer＇s 2D/mago was accomplished using imagewarping technique. The system architecture and the software framework were also described. The results show that the ＇system is a practical and useful application for fashion retailers.展开更多

A virtual representation of the user appears in a virtual changing room and the user＇s hand motions select the clothes from a list on the screen. Afterwards, the selected virtual clothes appear on a humanoid model in the virtual mirror. For the purpose of aligning the 3D garments and shoes with the model, 3D locations of the joints are used for positioning, scaling and rotating. By using our developed algorithm, small, medium, large or xlarge garment size is selected automatically and this information is shown on the screen. Then, we apply skin color detection to handle the unwanted occlusions between the user and the model. To create a more realistic effect, the system takes into account different images of the clothes according to different human poses and movements. Optional mirror selection buttons make it possible to have multiple viewing angles on the model. Additionally, we developed an algorithm for matching up all motions between the model and garments. In this study, we benefit from the Microsoft Kinect SDK （software development kit） in order to follow the user＇s movements, coordinate the suitable clothe try-ons and provide depth sort effect to the human body and clothes. In order to use the rapid calculation attributes of game engines, we used unity 3D game engine.展开更多

Previous work can change single color clothes using parametric human warping methods.In this paper, we propose an image-based clothes changing system, exploiting body factor extraction and content-aware image warping. Image segmentation and mask generation are first applied to the user input.Afterwards, we determine joint positions via a neural network. Then, body shape matching is performed and the shape of the model is warped to the user's shape. Finally, head swapping is performed to produce realistic virtual results. We also provide a supervision and labeling tool for refinement and further assistance when creating a dataset.展开更多
