A novel approach in predicting virtual garment fitting sizes with psychographic characteristics and 3D body measurements using artificial neural network and visualizing fitted bodies using generative adversarial network.

ABSTRACT: Advances in technology have brought accessibility to garment product fitting procedures with a virtual fitting environment and, in due course, improved the supply chain socially, economically, and environmentally. 3D body measurements, garment sizes, and ease allowance are the necessary factors to ensure end-user satisfaction in the apparel industry. However, designers find it challenging to recognize customers' motivations and emotions towards their preferred fit and define ease allowances in the virtual environment. This study investigates the variations of ease preferences for apparel sizes with body dimensions and psychological orientations by developing a virtual garment fitting prediction model. An artificial neural network (ANN) was employed to develop the model. The ANN model was proved to be effective in predicting ease preferences from two major components. A non-linear relationship was modeled among pattern parameters, body dimensions, and psychographic characteristics. Also, to visualize the fitted bodies, a generative adversarial network (GAN) was applied to generate 3D samples with the predicted pattern parameters from the ANN model. This project promotes mass customization using psychographic orientations and provides the perfect fit to the end users. New size-fitting data is generated for improved ease preference charts, and it enhances end-user satisfaction with garment fit.

Project description:Background Animal illness is a disturbance in an animal’s natural condition that disrupts or changes critical functions. Concern over animal illnesses stretches back to the earliest human interactions with animals and is mirrored in early religious and magical beliefs. Animals have long been recognized as disease carriers. Man has most likely been bitten, stung, kicked, and gored by animals for as long as he has been alive; also, early man fell ill or died after consuming the flesh of deceased animals. Man has recently learned that numerous invertebrates are capable of transferring disease-causing pathogens from man to man or from other vertebrates to man. These animals, which function as hosts, agents, and carriers of disease, play a significant role in the transmission and perpetuation of human sickness. Thus, there is a need to detect unhealthy animals from a whole group of animals. Methods In this study, a deep learning-based method is used to detect or separate out healthy-unhealthy animals. As the dataset contains a smaller number of images, an image augmentation-based method is used prior to feed the data in the deep learning network. Flipping, scale-up, sale-down and orientation is applied in the combination of one to four to increase the number of images as well as to make the system robust from these variations. One fuzzy-based brightness correction method is proposed to correct the brightness of the image. Lastly, semi-supervised generative adversarial network (SGAN) is used to detect the healthy-unhealthy animal images. As per our knowledge, this is the first article which is prepared to detect healthy-unhealthy animal images. Results The outcome of the method is tested on augmented COCO dataset and achieved 91% accuracy which is showing the efficacy of the method. Conclusions A novel two-fold animal healthy-unhealthy detection system is proposed in this study. The result gives 91.4% accuracy of the model and detects the health of the animals in the pictures accurately. Thus, the system improved the literature on healthy-unhealthy animal detection techniques. The proposed approach may effortlessly be utilized in many computer vision systems that could be confused by the existence of a healthy-unhealthy animal.

Project description:PurposeThis study proposed an end-to-end unsupervised medical fusion generative adversarial network, MedFusionGAN, to fuse computed tomography (CT) and high-resolution isotropic 3D T1-Gd Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image sequences to generate an image with CT bone structure and MRI soft tissue contrast to improve target delineation and to reduce the radiotherapy planning time.MethodsWe used a publicly available multicenter medical dataset (GLIS-RT, 230 patients) from the Cancer Imaging Archive. To improve the models generalization, we consider different imaging protocols and patients with various brain tumor types, including metastases. The proposed MedFusionGAN consisted of one generator network and one discriminator network trained in an adversarial scenario. Content, style, and L1 losses were used for training the generator to preserve the texture and structure information of the MRI and CT images.ResultsThe MedFusionGAN successfully generates fused images with MRI soft-tissue and CT bone contrast. The results of the MedFusionGAN were quantitatively and qualitatively compared with seven traditional and eight deep learning (DL) state-of-the-art methods. Qualitatively, our method fused the source images with the highest spatial resolution without adding the image artifacts. We reported nine quantitative metrics to quantify the preservation of structural similarity, contrast, distortion level, and image edges in fused images. Our method outperformed both traditional and DL methods on six out of nine metrics. And it got the second performance rank for three and two quantitative metrics when compared with traditional and DL methods, respectively. To compare soft-tissue contrast, intensity profile along tumor and tumor contours of the fusion methods were evaluated. MedFusionGAN provides a more consistent, better intensity profile, and a better segmentation performance.ConclusionsThe proposed end-to-end unsupervised method successfully fused MRI and CT images. The fused image could improve targets and OARs delineation, which is an important aspect of radiotherapy treatment planning.

Project description:Drug design is an important area of study for pharmaceutical businesses. However, low efficacy, off-target delivery, time consumption, and high cost are challenges and can create barriers that impact this process. Deep Learning models are emerging as a promising solution to perform de novo drug design, i.e., to generate drug-like molecules tailored to specific needs. However, stereochemistry was not explicitly considered in the generated molecules, which is inevitable in targeted-oriented molecules. This paper proposes a framework based on Feedback Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) that includes optimization strategy by incorporating Encoder-Decoder, GAN, and Predictor deep models interconnected with a feedback loop. The Encoder-Decoder converts the string notations of molecules into latent space vectors, effectively creating a new type of molecular representation. At the same time, the GAN can learn and replicate the training data distribution and, therefore, generate new compounds. The feedback loop is designed to incorporate and evaluate the generated molecules according to the multiobjective desired property at every epoch of training to ensure a steady shift of the generated distribution towards the space of the targeted properties. Moreover, to develop a more precise set of molecules, we also incorporate a multiobjective optimization selection technique based on a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm. The results demonstrate that the proposed framework can generate realistic, novel molecules that span the chemical space. The proposed Encoder-Decoder model correctly reconstructs 99% of the datasets, including stereochemical information. The model's ability to find uncharted regions of the chemical space was successfully shown by optimizing the unbiased GAN to generate molecules with a high binding affinity to the Kappa Opioid and Adenosine [Formula: see text] receptor. Furthermore, the generated compounds exhibit high internal and external diversity levels 0.88 and 0.94, respectively, and uniqueness.
