Abstract
Methods, device, system and one or more computer readable media having one or more computer programs with instructions to generate custom-fit garment patterns from a 3D body scan are disclosed. The patterns may be obtained by unwrapping the 3D body scan (3D image) into 2D using defined datapoints associated with the surface of a body in a target region. Patterns may be generated for different types of garments. The custom-fit garment patterns generated from the 3D body scan may be basic patterns, which may be further customized or modified as desired.

A method for generating custom-fit garment patterns comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, a three-dimensional image, the three-dimensional image including one or more body parts of a body;
- identifying a target region in the three-dimensional image;
- dividing along a dividing plane the target region into at least a first target portion and a second target portion,
- for the first target portion,
- identifying, by the processor, a number of datapoints on a surface of the first target portion, where the datapoints are arranged in a plurality of horizontal slices, where each horizontal slice contains datapoints in the same plane,
- dividing half of the first target portion into a plurality of subregions, the plurality of subregions being based on angular position with respect to a central axis, where the central axis is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the body,
- for each subregion,
- unwrapping, by the processor, the three-dimensional image by determining at least one arc length associated with each horizontal slice in the subregion using the identified datapoints for the respective slice;
- and
- generating, by the processor, a first portion based on the at least one arc length for each slice and the respective slice,
- for the second target portion,
- identifying, by the processor, a number of second datapoints, where the second datapoints are arranged in a plurality of vertical slices, where each vertical slice contains second datapoints in the same plane, the second datapoints including interpolated points,
- dividing half of the second target portion into a plurality of second subregions, respectively corresponding to the plurality of subregions in the first target portion;
- for each second subregion,
- assigning vertical slices to a respective second subregion;
- determining, by the processor, a length of a curve orthogonal to the vertical slices, the curve connecting a respective second datapoint in each vertical slice in the respective second subregion, the second datapoint being at a preset angle with respect to a reference point for each vertical slice, each reference point being on the dividing plane;
- determining, by the processor, an arc length associated with each vertical slice in the respective second subregion using the second datapoints for the respective vertical slice with respect to the reference point for each vertical slice, including the interpolated points;
- determining, by the processor, a length of an accumulative curve connecting tops of lines representing the arc lengths of the vertical slices, the lines representing the arc length extend orthogonally from a base, where the base intersects the dividing plane;
- determining a ratio of the length of the curve and the length of the accumulative curve;
- adjusting, by the processor, the position of the top portion of each line representing the arc length of vertical slices, respectively, based on the ratio;
- recalculating, by the processor, the arc length associated with each vertical slice in the respective subregion using the second datapoints for the respective vertical slice without the interpolated points;
- and
- generating, by the processor, a second portion based on the recalculated arc length for each vertical slice and the adjusted position;
- and
- for each subregion and its corresponding second subregion, combining the first portion and the second portion to generate a combined panel of a pattern.
