Non-contact human body measurement plays an important role in surveillance, physical healthcare, on-line business and virtual fitting. Current methods for measuring the human body without physical contact usually cannot handle humans wearing clothes, which limits their applicability in public environments. In this paper, we propose an effective solution that can measure accurate parameters of t...

A human body is occasionally electrified in a room. This charged object will be a source of electrostatic accidents, including the malfunction of electronic equipment. Hence, prevention of these accidents is required. Accidents occasionally occur, even though antistatic clothes and shoes are used. One of the causes for these accidents is that there is a lack of the preventive measures. This sit...

In this paper, we propose an intelligent system, called “Mobile Fashion Advisor”, aimed to create a virtual fashion assistant to give suggestions on the usage of clothing and help users avoid buying clothes that are never worn. Many different computer theories and techniques are exploited in the system. Digital image processing techniques, such as edge detection and color histogram, are employe...

Cloth parsing involves locating and describing all the clothes (e.g., T-shirt, shorts) and accessories (e.g, bag) that the person is wearing. The main challenges in solving this include the large variety of clothing patterns that have been developed across the globe by different cultures. Occlusions from other humans or objects, viewing angle and heavy clutter in the background further complica...

Matching clothes is a challenging task for many blind people. In this paper, we present a proof of concept system to solve this problem. The system consists of 1) a camera connected to a computer to perform pattern and color matching process; 2) speech commands for system control and configuration; and 3) audio feedback to provide matching results for both color and patterns of clothes. This sy...
