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. & 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
