Parsing for clothes in images and videos is a critical step towards understanding the human appearance. In this work, we propose a method to segment clothes in settings where there is no restriction on number and type of clothes, pose of the person, viewing angle, occlusion and number of people. This is a challenging task as clothes, even of the same category, have large variations in color and...

In 1835, Hans Christian Andersen published “The Emperor’s New Clothes”, one of the 164 fairy tales that earned him worldwide fame. A little more than 25 years ago, drawing inspiration from that tale, F. Gross reported the existence of an ailment capable of affecting multiple systems, “the Emperor’s clothes syndrome”. This syndrome primarily affects students and physicians for whom career succes...

3D-CT after full color spectrum rendering. Digital medium. The skin surface hangs like a soft satin over the transparent body with the trachea and lungs in the centre. Look, can you find some emphysematous bullae in the lungs? Cross section of the thorax at the level of the heart forms the background.

We read with great interest the paper by Cheikh Rouhou et al., which was recently published online in TheScientificWorldJOURNAL[1]. In this article, the authors report a new case of pulmonary and vertebral blastomycosis from Tunisia. They found that the probable reservoir of Blastomyces dermatitidis is the soil. Blastomycosis is considered a rare and sporadic disease in Africa, unlike in some e...

Recent US studies have presented case series of patient with allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) allegedly caused by formaldehyde in clothes treated with durable-press chemical finishes (DPCF), which are known formaldehyde releasers. However, the amounts of formaldehyde released by modern DPCF are thought to be well below the levels previously estimated to be able to elicit ACD. The objectives of...

We present a complete simulation engine to produce fast and realistic animations of clothes. This system is able to model clothes for animated and motion captured characters. Efficient algorithms for solving the arising equation of motion are employed. Also fast and reliable algorithms for proximity detection and collision response are crucial in animation, and we will present new methods allow...
