Abstract:

In order to reveal the relationship between garment ease allowance and virtual try-on even garment pattern design, the influencing factors of ease allowance, research methods and representation were reviewed and analyzed. The characteristics of ease allowance representation methods were summarized, and the latest research progress in ease representation models were scrutinized in particular. The effect of garment ease in virtual try-on and pattern design were further analyzed, respectively. It shows that the effective garment ease design should consider the factors of human body's dress form, clothing fit and comfort. The direct and indirect representation methods reflect the relationship between clothing and human body from different perspectives. The combination of ease allowance with garment virtual try-on and pattern design is effective to promote the authenticity of virtual try-on and facilitate intelligent design of clothing. The review indicates that three-dimensional spatial representation, continuous dynamic distribution and the construction of three-dimensional prediction models of ease allowance are regarded as the main research directions in garment ease in the future.

Key words: garment ease, representation model, virtual try-on, garment pattern design, 3-D garment CAD

[5] YANG Gang;;ZHONG Yueqi;. It is not rare for penetration phenomena to occur between garment and mannequin when 3-D garment is dressed onto various mannequins. In order to enhance the reusability of the 3-D scanned garment model, an algorithm based on same layer penetration compensation has been proposed, in which, the penetration detection and compensation between garment and mannequin are expressed respectively by the crossover and compensation between garment vertex and body triangle, and between garment edge/body triangle. The over-deformation is compensated via the position adjustment procedure. Experimental results verify that this method is an efficient approach for reusing 3-D scanned garment models. [J].
