Method and system for facilitating personalized garment fit evaluations over computer network, irrespective of non-uniform garment sizing options. 2D image of a selected garment offered for purchase is received. 2D image of a reference garment having preferred fit for customer and of same garment type as selected garment is received. Selected garment image and reference garment image includes a view of the selected/reference garment flattened against a surface and a measurement reference scale enabling measurement along any two image points. Selected garment and/or reference garment is transformed into a proportional image in which distances between points are presented along a common scale. Selected garment image is compared with reference garment image, and an indication of at least one fit deviation measurement of selected garment relative to reference garment is provided. A fit compatibility of selected garment may be determined and provided based on fit deviation measurement and garment fitting property.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for computer assisted pattern drafting in garment development. In an embodiment of the invention, a pattern making method includes initially acquiring a multiplicity of different two-dimensional image slices of a human form. Thereafter, a panel of a portion of a pattern of a garment is selected for processing in a data processing system and a metric computational rule for the selected panel is mapped to one of the two-dimensional image slices. A measurement of the one of the two-dimensional image slices is then acquired and the mapped metric computational rule is applied using the acquired measurement to produce a measurement for the selected panel.

The technology disclosed relates to methods usable for determining measurements for custom clothing manufacture, including receiving a raw image of a clothing article and a scale reference, and applying perspective correction to adjust the raw image to produce an adjusted image. The method also includes determining a scale reference from the adjusted image, for use with a line measurement tool; and receiving user inputs that positions ends of the line measurement tool on measurement reference positions on the adjusted image of the clothing article. The method further includes generating multiple clothing article distances between the measurement reference positions on the adjusted image of the clothing article using the line measurement tool; and storing at least three clothing article distances for use in producing a custom clothing article with a fit based on the favorite clothing article in the raw image.

Methods and systems for manufacture of a garment are disclosed, in particular for generating fabrication data for manufacture of a garment, where said garment is for regulation of a body region of a wearer of the garment. Measurement data for the body region of the wearer is obtained, and the measurement data is modified to simulate a regulating effect for the garment. The modified measurement data is used to generate the fabrication data for manufacturing the garment. The measurement data may be obtained for an unregulated state of the body region of the wearer, the measurement data may be modified to simulate a regulated state of the body region of the wearer. An initial form of the garment may be manufactured using the fabrication data, and the measurement data used to obtain a three-dimensional model of the body region. The initial form of the garment may then be compared to the three-dimensional model; and the comparison used to modify the initial form of the garment.

Described embodiments provide a system and method for measuring surface deformation and strain using digital image correlation of a surface of a test object. A data acquisition system acquires images of the surface. The surface has a unique surface pattern to facilitate image acquisition. The images are grouped into one or more image sets. Three dimensional image correlation is performed on each of the image sets to determine deformation and strain data. The deformation and strain data from the image sets are stitched into one dataset. Principal strains and lines of non-extension (LoNEs) directions are determined. One or more LoNEs streamlines and lines of maximum and minimum extensions are determined. Visualizations for the strain magnitudes, LoNE streamlines, maximum and minimum extension streamlines are generated in three dimensions.

A method herein is directed toward measuring clothing through image processing. The method comprises capturing a digital image of a clothing article and a reference object with the camera of the portable electronic device, analyzing the reference object in the digital image to determine a scale of the digital image with the processor of the portable electronic device, analyzing the clothing article in the digital image to determine a determined value for each of a plurality of measurements of the clothing article with the processor of the portable electronic device based upon the determined scale of the digital image, and transmitting the determined value for each of the plurality of measurements with the wireless communication transceiver of the portable electronic device, whereby the clothing article is measured with the portable electronic device.
