Cloth simulation has a long history, starting almost three decades ago. Thanks to the continuous increase of computation speed of computers, real-time simulation of clothes has become very recently possible. The research on real-time clothes has really begun few years ago when researchers have started simulating simple garments such as flags or tablecloths. Nowadays, the research aims at propos...

Segmenting garments from humanoid meshes or point clouds is a challenging problem with applications in the textile industry and in model based motion capturing. In this work we present a physically based template-matching technique for the automatic extraction of garment dimensions from 3D meshes or point clouds of dressed humans. The successfull identification of garment dimensions also allows...

The implementation of truly wearable, instrumented garments which are capable of recording biomechanical variables is crucial in several fields of application, from multimedia to rehabilitation, from sport to artistic fields. In this paper we discuss wearable devices (a smart shirt, a leotard and a glove) which can read and record the vital signs and movements of a subject wearing the system. T...

This paper outlines a 3D graphic environment to design and simulate men garments according to fabric properties and manufacturing processes. The aim is to permit the design in 3D of men base garments, in particular jackets, together with evaluation of their styles and automatic generation of 2D patterns from the 3D representation. 3D garment design has been based on the use of MAYA? (Alias/Wave...

Compression garments for the lower limb were tested in two groups--general support garments and anti-embolism supports. A total of 98 patients was examined. The method used was by the interposition of partly fluid-filled pressure sensors between garment and skin. A combination of roller bandage with shaped tubigrip (SBB--Seton) and Sigvaris stockings afforded effective pressure in the general s...

The article considers the process of formalisation automation design garments by introducing author’s method constructing basic basis drawing shoulder garments. In order to develop curves structure, an analytical using spline interpolation third-order polynomials is proposed.

Textile logistic warehouses are highly automated mechanized places where control points are needed to count and validate the number of garments in each batch. This paper proposes and describes a low cost and small size automated system designed to count the number of garments by processing an image of the corresponding hanger hooks generated using an array of phototransistors sensors and a line...

The purpose of this study is to design and evaluate a single-layer garment that incorporates different textiles to improve the physiological comfort of backpackers hiking in cold weather conditions. The objectives are to identify comfort needs, to design a prototype shirt, and to evaluate comfort and performance of the prototype over time, in comparison to a control. Qualitative data were colle...

Currently, most of the nation's 34,000 commercial drycleaners use perchloroethylene (PCE or perc) as a solvent to clean garments. Since 1992, in response to growing health and environmental concerns about perc, EPA has been working in a voluntary partnership with the drycleaning industry to reduce exposures to perc. EPA's DfE Garment and Textile Care Program (GTCP) encourages professional cloth...
