Design and evaluation of personalized garment block for atypical morphology using the knowledge-supported virtual simulation method

Abstract

This research puts forward a novel knowledge-supported design process for obtaining personalized ready-to-wear garment products aimed at consumers with atypical morphology by using a virtual a three-dimensional-to-two-dimensional (3D-to-2D) design method. The proposed design process starts with designing a personalized garment block, which is then extended into the desired ready-to-wear garment style. The garment block is obtained by using a virtual 3D-to-2D design method. The extension and sizing of the garment block pattern into desired ready-to-wear garment patterns is performed in a 2D environment using classic methods. The proposed design solution begins with a personalized garment block, thus avoiding the complicated operations of simulating a 3D garment directly in the virtual environment. The proposed design process can be fully digitalized, which ensures the involvement of the consumer throughout the design. By repeatedly running the sequence of Design – Display – Evaluation – Adjustment, which is technically accomplished through the virtual 3D-to-2D design method and 3D virtual try-on, the designers’ patterns and principles of elaborating personalized garment products can be validated within a very short time. As a knowledge-supported design process, designers’ design ideas and principles of personalized design solution can be fully extracted to enhance satisfaction of the final product. A set of experiments and case studies validated the approach and application of the proposed knowledge-supported virtual design process, and demonstrated its efficiency.

Development of Mask Design Knowledge Base Based on Sensory Evaluation and Fuzzy Logic

“…To process this kind of data, fuzzy logic is employed. Fuzzy logic can quantify qualitative data [10]. Using fuzzy logic, all relevant linguistic data can be quantifi ed for further processing of the data obtained in the sensory we ask each member of the evaluation team to evaluate each dimension of mask design perceptual descriptive space subjectively for each element in the mask element matrix.…”

CBCRS: An open case-based color recommendation system

“…The data in the proposed system is acquired from the evaluations of both designers and consumers. This data is presented as linguistic descriptors or terms that contain uncertainty and imprecision [13] . In this situation, fuzzy sets are used for analyzing and modeling the data [15] .…”

Raincoat design for children for age group 7-8 years: A design development case study

“…Fuzzy set, as an intelligent technique, is developed to handle the vagueness of human thought which is full of uncertainty and imprecision [9]. Fuzzy set theory has wide application in the area of sensory/subjective evaluation since it has obvious advantages in dealing with uncertain data, such as linguistics and clustering [10][11][12]. Using fuzzy set tools, a set of linguistic terms, describing the evaluation criteria, can be quantitated in the universe of respective and discourse membership function [13].…”
