It has become more and more important and difficult to minimize makespan in the global competitive markets. The purpose of this paper is to develop a decision support system to assist managers in making decisions for minimal makespan. There are too many and complex factors for senior managers to make suitable decisions. By traditional methods to allocate orders for minimum makespan, it often ma...

Many model pictures will be adopted in the network marketing of garment products because this method is the most intuitive. Human eyes can easily identify the garment styles, while computer programs struggle to automatically do so. This paper proposes a method for garment image segmentation in which the JSEG algorithm is applied to the image salient region segmentation, and the background regio...

OBJECTIVE: Throwing is a dynamic and complex task, which requires sequential movement to sufficiently transfer energy from the lower extremity to the upper extremity. Due to the repetitive stress of the overhead throwing motion, sport medicine personnel have developed different methods to assist in alleviating pain an athlete may be experiencing. One method is the use of a posture-cueing compre...

Due to the multiplicity of the implementation, virtual garment simulation requires the capacity of dressing a sewn garment onto various posed human models in a real time. In this paper, a three-step method has been proposed to accelerate the dress-up procedure. The virtual garment is first dressed onto a human model in a standing pose to record a distance map between the garment shell and the h...

This paper proposes an approach to design the surface pencil with specified parametric representations from a given geodesic. The surface was considered as a combination of the marching-scale functions and the Frenet trihedron frame, for which some necessary and sufficient conditions must be met. This paper simplifies those conditions, and represents the surface by combination of control points...
