In this paper, we first describe the State-of-the-Art in cloth modeling and animation, followed by a survey of the evolution of our work on the cloth generation and animation process toward evolving requirements. We then describe a more general system able to create autonomous clothes which may be worn by any synthetic human. We explain the method for creating both the clothes and the virtual h...

Objective: Determination of victim’s clothes in gunshot wounds is important due to the necessity of immediate workup in the emergency room as well as the legal aspects of cases. The aim of this study is to evaluate the importance of victim’s clothes in gunshot wounds referred to autopsy hall of legal medicine bureau of Tehran, Iran from 2014 to 2017.Methods: In this analytical comparative...

This paper describes about a method of state observation of clothes. The method assumes to be applied as a visual function of daily assistive robots tidying up clothes in daily environment. A set of gabor filters are applied to an input image by changing its frequency and direction. Combination and selection of these parameters provide adequate information to know where wrinkles or cloth-overla...

Cloth parsing involves locating and describing all the clothes (e.g., T-shirt, shorts) and accessories (e.g, bag) that the person is wearing. The main challenges in solving this include the large variety of clothing patterns that have been developed across the globe by different cultures. Occlusions from other humans or objects, viewing angle and heavy clutter in the background further complica...

We present a theorem proving the impossibility of recent attempts to decouple the Replica Symmetry Breaking (RSB) picture for finite-dimensional spin glasses from the existence of many thermodynamic (i.e., infinite-volume) pure states while preserving another signature RSB feature — space filling relative domain walls between periodic and antiperiodic finite-volume states. Thus the putative not...

In this work a system for recognizing grasp points in RGB-D images is proposed. This system is intended to be used by a domestic robot when deploying clothes lying at a random position on a table. By taking into consideration that the grasp points are usually near key parts of clothing, such as the waist of pants or the neck of a shirt. The proposed system attempts to detect these key parts fir...

In this paper, we present a framework for both skin and cloth deformation. Traditionally, skin and cloth deformations are managed by a non-unified strategy although the skin interacts on clothes and vice versa. In general, the skin is considered as a rigid surface on which the clothes have no effect. We propose in this paper a unified approach for cloth and body deformation. Our system is able ...

The progressive public use of antimicrobial clothes has raised issues concerning skin health. A placebo-controlled side-to-side study was run with antimicrobial clothes versus fabrics of similar structure but minus the antimicrobial activity, to evaluate possible adverse effects on the healthy skin microflora. Sixty volunteers were enrolled. Each participant received a set of form-fitting T-shi...

In this preliminary study, we have investigated whether dermal uptake of nicotine directly from air or indirectly from clothing can be a meaningful exposure pathway. Two participants wearing only shorts and a third participant wearing clean cotton clothes were exposed to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), generated by mechanically "smoking" cigarettes, for three hours in a chamber while breathi...
