We propose a virtual try-on method based on generative adversarial networks (GANs). By considering clothing regions, this method enables us to reflect the pattern of clothes better than Conditional Analogy GAN (CAGAN), an existing virtual try-on method based on GANs. Our method first obtains the clothing region on a person by using a human parsing model learned with a large-scale dataset. Next,...

The paper describes the development of a comprehensive decision logic for selection and use of biological and chemical protective clothing (BCPC). The decision logic recognizes the separate areas of BCPC use among emergency, biological, and chemical hazards. The proposed decision logic provides a system for type classifying BCPC in terms of its compliance with existing standards (for emergency ...

abstract since ancient time clothes has been integrated into human life, though this is the 1960s and after when clothes have been described as an artistic concept. nowadays, clothes in addition to their traditional functions including protection, coverage and beauty have found communicative function as well. since 1960s, artists have benefited from such a powerful tool presenting their desired...

A t the risk of some simplification, it is possible to identify four periods of intense study of cities by economists. Each of these has led to an increased understanding of the economics of urban areas and the unique role played by cities in the modern economy. The first of these periods occurred in the decade after World War I—only about ten years after the truck revolutionized the transport ...

Truly wearable sensing poses challenges in many areas. To be successful, wearable sensors must preserve wearer comfort while providing accurate sensor data. Further, for widespread commercial production they must also be compatible with soft goods manufacturing. Here, we present a method of fabricating stretch sensors using common apparel sewing machinery. The response of sensors made using ind...

The textile industry is one of the most important consumer goods industries worldwide. Its mostly small and medium-sized enterprises produce textiles for various uses such as clothing, home textiles (such as bed and table linen, kitchen towels and cleaning rags), household textiles (such as curtains, furniture fabrics, textile floor coverings) and technical textiles (such as protective clothing...

In over three decades, Bangladesh has witnessed substantial growth in its export of goods and services. Over this period economic growth has accelerated withGDP initially recording an average growth rate of below 3% in the early 1970s and rising to 5% during the 1990s. The trade and industry policies have changed from being highly import substituting and government controlled to become more lib...

This master thesis contributes to tasks aiming at perceiving soft objects as textiles or pieces of clothing and manipulating with them using robots. We used a towel and a T-shirt in our experiments. We started from Miller’s (University of California, Berkeley) parameterized model, which represents the piece of clothing. It creates a skeletal model for a given class clothing manually, e.g. for a...

Five protective garments (light summer clothing L, high visibility clothing HV, military clothing MIL, climber coverall CLM and firefighting clothing FIRE) were assessed on eight unacclimated male subjects at two environments: moderate warm environment with high humidity (MWH, 20.0°C, 86% relative humidity) and warm environment with moderate humidity (WMH, 30.0°C, 47% relative humidity). The th...

Children's descriptions of clothing placement and touching with respect to clothing are central to assessing child sexual abuse allegations. This study examined children's ability to answer the types of questions attorneys and interviewers typically ask about clothing, using the most common spatial terms (on/off, outside/inside, over/under). Ninety-seven 3- to 6-year-olds were asked yes/no (e.g...
