In a real sense, all life is inter-related. All persons are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.—Martin Lu...

As a fundamental technique that concerns several vision tasks such as image parsing, action recognition and clothing retrieval, human pose estimation (HPE) has been extensively investigated in recent years. To achieve accurate and reliable estimation of the human pose, it is well-recognized that the clothing attributes are useful and should be utilized properly. Most previous approaches, howeve...

This paper mainly analyzes the influences of product characteristics and service on consumer satisfaction with online clothing purchasing and hopes to provide some references for online clothing retailers to improve consumer satisfaction. In this paper, divide service into two parts: online clothing retailer’s service and logistics service and put forward related sixteen hypotheses. Then design...

The physiological properties of clothing designed to provide protection against cold, windy and damp conditions affect comfort. The weight, thickness, stiffness of the fabrics and friction between the clothing layers affect physical performance. The comfort and perception of performance associated with 3 military winter combat clothing systems from different decades (the new M05 system, the pre...

3) Key Laboratory of Clothing Design & Technology, Ministry of Education, China Abstract Considering a clothing system consists of the human body, an air gap layer under the clothing as well as a fabric layer and boundary layer adjacent to the fabric, heat transfer from the skin to the environment is influenced by human body thermoregulation, the air gap, the fabric and environmental conditions...

Clothing segmentation is a challenging issue of research, which is gaining more and more attention. This paper presents an interactive clothing segmentation method based on JSEG and GrabCut. Firstly, we pre-process the image from pixels to regions using JSEG algorithm for the purposes of lessening computer loads and reducing the noise of image, and then build a graph using regions as nodes, and...

Soft biometrics continues to attract research interest. Traditional body and face soft biometrics have been the main research focus and have been proven, by many researchers, to be usable for identification and retrieval. Also, soft biometrics have been shown to provide several advantages over classic biometrics, such as invariance to illumination and contrast. Other than body and face, little ...

In this paper, a bi-objective model is proposed for designing a pre-positioning network of pharmaceutical supplies considering their limited shelf-life. The presented model aims to consider both cost efficiency and responsiveness by minimization of total cost and the maximum amount of unmet demand under uncertainties in demand and supply sides’ data. Moreover, for effective distribution of reli...

Evaporative resistance has been widely used to describe the evaporative heat transfer property of clothing. It is also a critical variable in heat stress models for predicting human physiological responses in various environmental conditions. At present, sweating thermal manikins provide a fast and cost-effective way to determine clothing evaporative resistance. Unfortunately, the measurement r...

It is well known that clothing fashion is a distinctive and often habitual trend in the style in which a person dresses. Clothing fashions are usually expressed with visual stimuli such as style, color, and texture. However, it is not clear which visual stimulus places higher/lower influence on the updating of clothing fashion. In this study, computer vision and machine learning techniques are ...
