Fashion Design is an industry closely connected to our daily life.
Computer-aided fashion design can enhance the efficiency of product
development, in which a 3D mannequin links the development and application
of the entire design system, thus rendering the 3D mannequin data required
for fashion design very important. This study proposed a systematic method
for surface reconstruction of 3D mannequins based on feature curves. First
of all, the study applied reverse engineering methods to scan a mannequin
model commonly used in the fashion design profession by extracting grid
points that represent the shape features from the scanned data after the
segmentation of the mannequin model through feature surfaces. Then, the
shape of the entire 3D mannequin is reconstructed using B-spline surfaces.
Simultaneously, the continuity among the connected B-spline surfaces is
adjusted with tangent vector adjustment methods based on the minimum energy
required for improving the quality of the shaped surfaces. Finally, the 3D
mannequin is applied to the computer-aided fashion design system being
developed to achieve product development using synchronous design methods.
