Abstract

High returning rate of garments products have become a notable problem for online fashion shopping. This problem is partially caused by using different standards for measuring cloth sizes on different websites. In this research, we have designed a set of equipment to capture images of t-shirts of any color and propose an automatic cloth measurement approach using image processing techniques. A method has been introduced to recognize feature points, which has been used to calculate the cloth sizes. The method has provided a useful and efficient tool for cloth measurement. The photographs have been taken in a controlled environment, and then clothes have been categorized with the proportions of the neck, shoulder, chest width, upper waist, lower waist, and length. In this method, we have measured the t-shirt size for men by calculating the chest width and length of men. For this, a dataset has been created in a specific environment. This method has integrated with a web-based application. We have validated our work by calculating RMSE values.
