In this paper, we present a novel approach for reconstructing garment sewing patterns from 2D garment images. Our method addresses the challenge of handling occlusion in 2D images by leveraging the symmetric and correlated nature of garment panels. We introduce a transformer-based deep neural network called Panelformer that learns the parametric space of garment sewing patterns. The network comprises two components: the panel transformer and the stitch predictor. The panel transformer estimates the parametric panel shapes, including the occluded panels, by learning from the visible ones. The stitch predictor determines the stitching information among the predicted panels, enabling the reconstruction of the complete garment. To mitigate the overfitting problem caused by strong panel correlations, we propose two tailor-made data augmentation techniques: panel masking and garment mixing. These techniques generate a wider variety of panel combinations, enhancing the model’s robustness and generalization capability. We evaluate the effectiveness of Panelformer using a synthetic dataset with diverse garment types. The experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms competing baselines and achieves comparable performance to NeuralTailor, which operates on 3D point cloud data. This validates the efficacy of our approach in the context of garment sewing pattern reconstruction. By utilizing 2D images as input, our method expands the potential applications of garment modeling and offers easy accessibility to end users. Our code is available online1.

This paper focuses on improving the reconstruction of 2D floorplans from unstructured 3D point clouds. We identify opportunities for enhancement over the existing methods in three main areas: semantic quality, efficient representation, and local geometric details. To address these, we presents SLIBO-Net, an innovative approach to reconstructing 2D floorplans from unstructured 3D point clouds. We propose a novel transformer-based architecture that employs an efficient floorplan representation, providing improved room shape supervision and allowing for manageable token numbers. By incorporating geometric priors as a regularization mechanism and post-processing step, we enhance the capture of local geometric details. We also propose a scale-independent evaluation metric, correcting the discrepancy in error treatment between varying floorplan sizes. Our approach notably achieves a new state-of-the-art on the Structure3D dataset. The resultant floorplans exhibit enhanced semantic plausibility, substantially improving the overall quality and realism of the reconstructions. Our code and dataset are available online.

Image colorization is inherently an ill-posed problem with multi-modal uncertainty. Previous methods leverage the deep neural network to map input grayscale images to plausible color outputs directly. Although these learning-based methods have shown impressive performance, they usually fail on the input images that contain multiple objects. The leading cause is that existing models perform learning and colorization on the entire image. In the absence of a clear figure-ground separation, these models cannot effectively locate and learn meaningful object-level semantics. In this paper, we propose a method for achieving instance-aware colorization. Our network architecture leverages an off-the-shelf object detector to obtain cropped object images and uses an instance colorization network to extract object-level features. We use a similar network to extract the full-image features and apply a fusion module to full object-level and image-level features to predict the final colors. Both colorization networks and fusion modules are learned from a large-scale dataset. Experimental results show that our work outperforms existing methods on different quality metrics and achieves state-of-the-art performance on image colorization.
