A novel method of real time cloth size measurement algorithm based on Fpga platform

Abstract

Measurements are the very important parameter in all fields like automobile, textile, farming, construction, etc. This paper present a technique of involuntarily measuring sizes of a garment from a particular picture. The main objective of this paper is to develop real time hardware measurement system based on Field Programmable Gate Array for high accuracy and simulation method using edge and contour detection technique. The simulation can be done by using OPEN CV and hardware platform is based on Xilinx PYNQ-Z1 board which has a combination of ARM Cortex A9 dual processor with an FPGA logic blocks and Logitech C270 USB camera. In this study, we positioned a camera to capture images of tiled cloths of any color and style. Image recognition technique used to propose an automatic cloth measurement. A pattern is introduced to identify the garment along with its size measurements. The pattern can be chosen depending upon the contour area of given cloths. The system provides an effective tool to measure the cloth size. Using this tool we can provide the best performance outcome to the apparel industry.
