AI excitement continues to spread rapidly, and we continue to find new ways that AI can make our lives easier and even more productive. The latest experiment, with some success, shows that AI can recreate a garment by looking at just a single image of it.
It can be safely said that this experiment was interesting, and according to the researchers, the AI achieved a 95.7 percent success rate in recreating the clothes shown to it. At the center of the experiment is Sewformer, a two-stage artificial intelligence system.
The researchers trained this system on 1 million clothing images, and all that training seemed to work. With a single look at an image, the system can now parse the garment to understand where the various pieces come together and what patterns it should use to recreate it. This could make AI-generated clothing more realistic than any experiment before it.
Researchers say one of the most important possible uses for such a system will be through virtual reality, or the metaverse. This will allow developers to use the technology to recreate digital versions of clothing and then place them in the digital world. This way, users can recreate real-world clothing in the metaverse, and developers and clothing creators can also gain new ways to get paid for their products in the digital world.
Of course, there may be other possibilities for AI-made clothing, such as taking a photo of someone wearing a garment, then recreating it and enhancing it to make new designs. A study of the experiment is now available on the preprint server arXiv.
