Measurement control of ready-made garments with image analysis methods

Abstract

In the ready-made clothing industry accurate garment measurement is one of the most important points for the right fitting of the apparel. Garments should be produced to the determined size by the customer or the enterprise. Although, the measurement control of the final product is made by trained operator, the factors such as gradually loose of attention, fatigue and stress could cause faults that could lead to lack of quality and waste of time. In this sense, developing and using objective, fast and economic measurement control systems in terms of both cost effectiveness and the reliability of the controls has become a must. The purpose of the study is to design a system and develop an algorithm to control the measurements of garments automatically. This study, which is determined that image analysis method can be used in measurement control of ready-made garments, will be a new measurement control method in the literature and an example for similar studies. By benefiting from the image analysis methods, measurement mistakes likely to result from the operator will be prevented and the results will be made more reliable.
