Classification of Three-Dimensional Body Shape Based on the Extraction of Body Shape Image Words for Young Women-Impressions of Body Shape Image for Selecting Well-suited Garments-

Abstract

: We hoped to extract support information to enable the selection of the well-suited garments to fit threedimensional body (hereafter 3D-body) shape images of young women. The 3D-body simulations for evaluating the shape images were created by means of non-tactile 3D-body measurement. Two hundred words were selected to describe various body shape images. Six key words indicating full-length body images (As : A1. Underweight, A2. Feminine, A3. Ideal, A4. Standard, A5. Masculine, and A6. Overweight figures) and 19 key words for partial body image (Bs : B1. Leg thickness to B19. Body shape) were extracted for the classification. The 3D-body shape images of 82 young females were evaluated on a scale of 1 to 5 using these key words. Six principal components of 3D-body shape images (As and Bs) were extracted, and 7 3D-body shape image groups (5 full-length and 2 partial) were classified using those 5 principal component scores.

Selection of Three-Dimensional Garment Image Style Based on Three-Dimensional Body Shape Image Classification of Young Women

“…Therefore, in previous papers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7], we proposed that the construction of a 3D Fashion Factory or Boutique ordering system (denoted by 3D-FFB) to support communication between consumers and retailers shopping for clothing on computer. Until now as the basis of investigations as shown in Fig.…”

“…Until now as the basis of investigations as shown in Fig. 1, the classifications of 3D-garment design images [2][3][4] and 2D-picture images of the 3D-body shape were examined separately for young women [1]. Therefore, we can not make clear whether those classifications of 3D-body shape match the selection of well-suited 3D-garment design images by using the both examinations of those two images simultaneously.…”

“…Therefore, we can not make clear whether those classifications of 3D-body shape match the selection of well-suited 3D-garment design images by using the both examinations of those two images simultaneously. For classifications of the 3D-body shape type in previous paper [1], the extraction of standard 3D-body shape image was left behind as a problem. It is important image for standard 3D-body shape to select 3D-garment design.…”

“…In this paper, particularly, we made certain to examine the suitability of the 3D-garment design images for the 3D-body shape image type based on our four studies [1][2][3][4] in upper parts of Fig. 1.…”

“…1. There are the two extractions of original image key words and the 3D-body shape type images [1]. The two extractions for garment images were the original image key words and the 3D or 2D-garment design images [2][3][4].…”
