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.

포토닉 의류는 의류에 다양한 광원과 광전달 소재를 적용하여 빛을 발현하는 디지털 기술을 적용하여 의류의 색채를 제어함으로써 착용자의 감성을 시각화할 수 있도록 하는 스마트 의류의 일종이다. 앞서 개발한 포토닉 의류의 중 LED램프와 광섬유의 조합으로 색광을 발현하는 기능은 특별히 RGB 색조합을 통해 의도하는 색채를 다양하게 구현할 수 있다는 특징이 있다. 현재 색채 발현 방법은 Red, Green, Blue의 3가지 색상의 LED의 적절한 조합을 통하여 색채를 발현하는 방식을 가지고 있으나 색체계 상의 기준 색상과 실제 발현되어 육안으로 확인되는 색채의 차이가 있어 의도와는 다른 색채가 나타나 디자이너의 색채 기획의도를 포토닉 의류에 적용하기 힘들며, 기존의 색체계에 의해 생산된 다른 텍스타일 색채와의 컬러 조합에 있어서 필요한 정확한 데이터를 얻기 어렵다. 따라서, 포토닉 의류에 의도하는 색채를 발현하기 위해서는 기존 색상과의 차이점 보정과 효과적인 데이터 베이스 구축이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 포토닉 의류의 색채에 관한 보다 체계적인 연구를 통해 웹 컬러와 광섬유를 이용한 포토닉 컬러에서의 색채 이미지를 비교, 분석하고 RGB값과 색차값을 통한 차이점 보정을 참고하여 광섬유를 사용하여 제작되는 스마트 포토닉 의류의 제작 시 색채선정 기획에 있어서 기초적인 자료로 활용될 수 있도록 제시하고자 한다.

The plastic optical fiber has been previously known to have the limits in fabrication and care, due to its lack of flexibility and durability. Recently, an innovative technology of 'water-resistant & flexible optical fiber', in which the surface of etched POF(i.e., plastic optical fiber) is to be coated with a type of synthetic resin, has been developed. In this study, the post-treated POF-based flexible textiles were evaluated in terms of luminance, physical visibility and perceived visibility, according to the fabric lengths and colors of the light source. The POF-based flexible textile with 10cm fabric length and green light source appeared to show relatively higher illuminating effects. The maximum distance for perceived visibility of the POF-based flexible textiles was found to be 100m. Therefore, the results of this study are expected to be utilized as a fundamental for the further studies to develop the digital color clothing with application of POF-based flexible textile.

Colors convey emotions and feelings. This study investigated human's emotional responses on both single colors and changes of colors in clothing. From experiment 1, we found that the important possibility that color emotion also can apply on photonic clothing and it can play a significant role in expressing emotions. We also found there are differences in emotional dimensions between web colors and photonic colors.

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.

This paper is related to color image segmentation and textile texture mapping for the 2D virtual wearing system. The proposed system is characterized as virtually wearing a new textile pattern selected by user to the clothing shape section, based on its intensity difference map, segmented from a 2D clothes model image using color image segmentation technique. Regardless of color or intensity of model clothes, the proposed system is possible to virtually change the textile pattern or 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 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 to a minimum. According to the proposed system, it can motivate the creative activity of the designers with simulation results on the effect of textile pattern design on the appearance of clothes without manufacturing physical clothes and, as it can help the purchasers for decision-making with them, promote B2B or B2C e-commerce.
