【新闻戴注】網購衣服選號易？3D测量硬件往幫你

　　網購時总是不能斷定該購甚麼呎寸的衣服?兩年後或有個軟件能夠幫你。由英國薩裏年夜壆科学傢跟倫敦古裝教院設念專傢獨特開辟的一款3D軟件能够根据用戶上傳的炤片准確测量出用戶的腰圍、臀圍、胸圍等关键呎寸，以輔助用戶選定最开適的装扮呎寸。用戶上傳的炤片不會被保存也不會被傳輸到網上，僅用於即时测量呎寸。薩裏大年夜壆的一位教壆表現，讓網購用戶正在購寘時著脚测量自己的呎寸是不事實的，這個軟件的推出將讓網購變得更加方便。別的，果為每個出產商的呎寸呎度皆有差別，網購用戶跟商戶每一年都会果呎寸錯誤而花大量時光战金錢更換貨色。那款硬件能夠幫用戶戰商戶省往良多費事。古朝，這款軟件借正在開支階段，估計會在兩年內推出。

 

　　Online clothes shoppers will be told exactly what size is best for them using new software which combines with their webcam or smart phone to form a "3D tape measure".

　　Scientists from Surrey University and design experts from the London College of Fashion are developing a program which can take precise waist, hip, chest and other measurements from camera images.

　　Using the person's height as a starting point, the software will be able to build up a 3D image and estimate their size at various different points on the body, based on their overall proportions.

　　The result will be a more accurate sizing guide than systems based on waist size or a "small/medium/large" scale, which rely on limited measurements and the buyer's perception of their own body size.

　　Shoppers and retailers who choose to sign up for the project could save millions of pounds a year in postage costs by eliminating the need to order multiple sizes of the same garment and send back ill-fitting clothes, researchers claimed.

　　Prof Adrian Hilton of Surrey University said: “It’s unrealistic to expect online clothes shoppers to have the time or inclination to take a series of highly accurate body measurements of themselves. The new system makes it all very easy.”

　　The project, sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), is expected to be brought to market within two years.

　　After choosing an item, the shopper will activate the software and enter their height, before in front of their webcam or smart phone in their underwear and taking a photograph.

　　The software will not store or transmit the image to the internet, but will use it to judge the person's dimensions at various points on their body.

　　Because label sizes vary between manufacturers, the program will use the exact measurements of each individual garment to predict which size will be the best fit.

　　Philip Delamore of the London College of Fashion said: "The potential benefits for the fashion industry and for shoppers are huge. Currently, it’s common for online shoppers to order two or three different sizes of the same item of clothing at the same time, as they’re unsure which one will fit best.”
