The purpose of this study was to apply the Q methodology to type subjective perceptions of virtual clothing and to examine the characteristics of each type. Perceptions of virtual clothing were analyzed into four types. The first type was the "virtual clothing trusting fit grasping type," who preferred to use virtual clothing and believed that virtual clothing would help them grasp the fit. The second type was the shopping mall adoption-positive design understanding type, which believes that virtual clothing is useful for design understanding and that all shopping malls should have a virtual clothing system. The third type was the environmental pollution reduction virtual clothing purchase type, where the virtual clothing reduces environmental pollution and the user wants to purchase virtual clothing that cannot actually be worn. The fourth type was the actual clothing-like fun-seeking type, in which the virtual clothing resembles actual clothing and the shopper believes that the virtual clothing will make shopping more enjoyable. Depending on the type, the avatar was required to adjust the dimensions of the avatar, enhance the design expression of the garment, equip the avatar with decorative items, and produce virtual clothing for sale.

The purpose of this study was to collect research related to virtual clothing conducted in Japan with virtual clothing as the keyword, and to understand research trends in the field of virtual clothing, including research timing, content, and methods. By doing so, I attempted to present a direction of travel for future research related to virtual clothing. An analysis of the academic fields of virtual clothing-related journals and dissertations revealed that the fashion field was the most common, followed by the natural sciences and the arts. The distribution of virtual clothing-related studies by year showed a gradual increase after 2000, a decrease between 2016 and 2020, and an increasing trend after the corona pandemic. Marketing was the most common research topic for virtual clothing, followed by virtual fitting, design, materials, and systems. Experimental research was the most common research method related to virtual clothing, followed by survey research and development research. n the future, research on fashion-related system development and verification of the effectiveness of virtual garments is expected to advance. In addition, it would be necessary to analyze trends in virtual clothing research outside of Korea.

본 논문은 가상 직물 착용을 위한 직조 패턴 제거 필터의 성능 분석에 관한 것이다. 명도 차분 맵을 이용한 가상 직물 착용 시스템은 의류 형상 영역의 명도 차분 맵을 이용하여 조명과 음영 특성을 추출할 시, 의류 형상 영역의 색상에는 무관하지만 의류 모델의 직조 패턴에는 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 바이래터럴 필터(bilateral filter)와 측지 형태학 필터(geodesic morphological filter)에 기반하여 모델 의류 영역의 직조 패턴을 제거하는 방법을 소개하고 그 성능을 분석함에 목적이 있다. 가상 직물 착용 시스템에 직조 패턴 제거 필터를 채택할 경우, 최대한 모델 영상의 직조 패턴에 무관하게 직물 원단의 디자인이 의복의 외관에 미치는 영향을 시뮬레이션할 수 있음에 따라 직물 디자이너의 창작활동을 도와줄 수 있다. 또한 온라인상에서 직물 원단이나 의류를 거래할 시에 구매자로 하여금 모델 영상의 직조패턴에 종속되지 않은 상태에서 의사결정을 할 수 있도록 지원해 B2B 또는 B2C 전자상거래 행위를 촉진할 수 있다.

With rapid expansion in e-retailing of apparel business, the virtual fitting model is used for comparing fit of the selected garments. The researchers experimented women's perceived body size for developing virtual fitting model. 50 women who were 20's in age were participated in the experiment They were graduate students with clothing & textile major. The results of this study showed that the subjects perceived themselves with fuller figure at waist or hips and with shorter figure at waist height than their actual body site. Many subjects believed that their body sizes were close to the average site. Especially, subjects whose abdomen girth of hip girth was much larger than average thought that they have relatively flat abdomen. It was concluded that not only the user's body measurements but also user's perception on their figure type are needed to be considered in the process of developing virtual fitting model for e-retailing of apparel. It was expected that the virtual fitting model of extraordinary size body would not be accepted by the female consumers even though they are extra large or small size person in reality.

Mass-customization is fast growing a segment of the apparel market. 2D Virtual wearing system is one of visual support tools that make possible to sell apparel before producing and reduce the time and costs related to product development and manufacturing in the world of apparel mass-customization. This paper is related to fabric color mapping method for 2D image-based virtual wearing system. In proposed method, clothing shape section of interest is segmented from a clothes model image using a region growing method, and then mapping a new fabric color selected by user into it based on its intensity difference map is processed. With the proposed method in 2D virtual wearing system, regardless of color or intensity of model clothes, it is possible to virtually change the fabric color with holding the illumination and shading properties of the selected clothing shape section, and also to quickly and easily simulate, compare, and select multiple fabric color combinations for individual styles or entire outfits.

A virtual garment fitting system which fits the top and bottom of a garment on 3D body data is introduced. This system uses the laser scanned 3D body data and the digital images photographed the front and back of a garment. The digital images are modeled to reflect tensions among particles in the images and the friction and gravity effects are considered in the fitting process to the body data. When a bottom is fitted, a virtual belt to hold the bottom in the waist is introduced since gravity effects pull down it. Also the process for fitting the top and bottom on layers is proposed here. The system has the strengths that it uses only the front and back image of a garment instead of using complicated patterns of a garment, and provides a realistic fit result as a 3D figure. As on-line retailing shop in present displays front and back images of garments, this system also does. However this system provides a differentiated service to user than present retailing shop as showing a 3D fit image. It will make a new trend in online shop retailing of garment.

This paper is related to an Object VR-based virtual textile wearing system carrying out textile texture mapping based on viewpoint vector estimation and intensity difference map. The proposed system is characterized as capable of virtually wearing a new textile pattern selected by the user to the clothing shape section segmented from multi-view 2D images of clothes model for Object VR(Object Virtual Reality), and three-dimensionally viewing its virtual wearing appearance at multi-view points of the object. Regardless of color or intensity of model clothes, the proposed system is possible to virtually change the textile pattern with holding the properties of the selected clothing shape section, and also to quickly and easily simulate, compare, and select multiple textile pattern combinations for individual styles or entire outfits. The proposed system can provide higher practicality and easy-to-use interface, as it makes real-time processing possible in various digital environment, and creates comparatively natural and realistic virtual wearing styles, and also makes semi-automatic processing possible to reduce the manual works.
