Modeling and Reconstructing Garments with Sewing Patterns (Talk)

The problems of creating new garments (modeling) or reproducing the existing ones (reconstruction) appear in various fields: from fashion production to digital human modeling for the metaverse. The talk introduces approaches to a novel garment creation paradigm: programming-based parametric sewing pattern construction and its application to generating rich synthetic datasets of garments with sewing patterns. We will then discuss how the availability of ground truth sewing patterns allows posing the learning-based garment reconstruction problem as a sewing pattern recovery. Such reformulation enables obtaining high-quality 3D garment models from sparse point clouds with effective design generalization while simultaneously providing designer-friendly garment representation for further use in traditional garment processing pipelines.
