Abstract
One embodiment can provide a system and method for determining joinder points on to-be-joined fabric pieces. During operation, the system captures an image comprising the to-be-joined fabric pieces; identifies to-be-joined edges, respectively, on the fabric pieces; for each edge, computes a curve that substantially fits the edge; and determines the joinder points on the edge based on the computed curve. Variance of distance between two consecutive joinder points on the edge is within a predetermined value.
Claims20
A piece of garment, produced by:
- capturing, by a machine-vision system, an image comprising two to-be-joined fabric pieces;
- identifying, by the machine-vision system, a to-be-joined edge on each to-be-joined fabric pieces;
- determining a plurality of joinder points on each to-be-joined edge such that variance of distance between two neighboring joinder points on the to-be-joined edge is within a predetermined range;
- and
- joining the to-be-joined fabric pieces at the determined joinder points on each edge.
A computer-vision system for facilitating manufacturing of a garment, comprising:
- a camera configured to capture images of to-be-joined fabric pieces;
- a processor;
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- identify a to-be-joined edge on each fabric piece;
- and
- determine a plurality of joinder points on the to-be-joined edge such that variance of distance between two neighboring joinder points on the to-be-joined edge is within a predetermined range.
A computer-executed method for facilitating manufacturing of a garment, the method comprising:
- capturing, by a machine-vision system, an image comprising two to-be-joined fabric pieces;
- identifying, by the machine-vision system, a to-be-joined edge on each to-be-joined fabric pieces;
- and
- determining a plurality of joinder points on each to-be-joined edge such that variance of distance between two neighboring joinder points on the to-be-joined edge is within a predetermined range.
