A Using the Fuzzy Logic to Classify Vietnamese Women’s Shapes from 6 to 18 Years Old

Abstract

The paper presents research to establish a simulation program on the Fuzzy logic for the Vietnamese women from 6-18 years old in Ho Chi Minh City. The author used across statistical method, component analysis method, factor analysis method, ANOVA by the SPSS software to overall test the difference between groups, and using the simulation by the Matlab software in this research. This research classified body shapes by a combination of 3 height groups, such as low, medium, and high. They combined with the FFIT and BMI standards to produce the final result of having all 27 women shapes. The results of the groups used to put into the Fuzzy logic simulation program by the Matlab software with the MISO model. It had five variables for inputs, and the output was the result of the shape which needed to know. This is scientific research, so it applies to teach subjects in the field of costume design. Besides, it supports businesses, and fashion designers will have a basis for advice on choosing costumes that fit the body shape, as well as the object of measurement, will have an objective awareness of body shapes to give training directions, adjust the physique appropriately.
