We present a novel approach that constructs 3D virtual garment models from photos. Unlike previous methods that require photos of a garment on a human model or a mannequin, our approach can work with various states of the garment: on a model, on a mannequin, or on a flat surface. To construct a complete 3D virtual model, our approach only requires two images as input, one front view and one back view. We first apply a multi-task learning network called JFNet that jointly predicts fashion landmarks and parses a garment image into semantic parts. The predicted landmarks are used for estimating sizing information of the garment. Then, a template garment mesh is deformed based on the sizing information to generate the final 3D model. The semantic parts are utilized for extracting color textures from input images. The results of our approach can be used in various Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality applications.

considerable electrochemical stability, which is ascribed to the natural passivation layer Al 2 O 3 . [10] The Al 2 O 3 layer could availably prevent Al from corrosion in an ideal state (absence of water, voltage <4.0 V versus Li/Li + approximately). [11][12][13] Obviously, it is hardly to achieve an anhydrous environment and corresponding strategies are adopted to deal with the aluminum oxidation after passivation layer breakdown. Modulating electrolyte composition is effective, including additives, [14,15] superconcentrated electrolytes [16,17] or new lithium salts [18,19] and solvents. [20,21] And recently, the modification of Al current collector has gradually attracted scientific attention, such as in situ chemical conversion [22,23] or passivation layer assembly. [24][25][26] An advanced artificial passivation layer we anticipate should simultaneously resist corrosion and conduct electricity. In addition, the power and energy trade-off of LIBs restricts the thickness of artificial passivation layer. [27] Naturally, designing a suitable Al current collector is challenging and meaningful.MXene (Ti 3 C 2 T x ) nanosheets, as a member of 2D transition metal carbides, own extraordinary conductivity, abundant adjustable functional groups (OH, O, or F) and unique layered structure, [28][29][30][31] which are frequently employed as active material or conductive substrate to construct nanocomposite electrodes. [32] Furthermore, MXene also possesses a foundation for anticorrosion (high strength, modulus, and chemical stability). In inorganic system, MXene is requisitioned as a combined physical barrier enhancer to metal protection. [33][34][35] Consequently, the better electrochemical stability of MXene in organic environment makes it an innovative perspective to protect Al current collector solely in high-voltage LIBs. Herein, for the first time, an MXene armored layer was fabricated on pure Al current collector (MXene-Al) via a simple self-assembly procedure, which is homogeneous and ultrathin (<100 nm), protecting Al matrix in LiPF 6 -carbonates electrolyte without compromising conductivity. In Li||LiCo 1/3 Ni 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 (NCM333) system with a high cut-off voltage of 4.5 V, cells with MXene-Al possess an enhanced electrochemical performance. The discharge capacity retention reaches up to 81.4% after 300 cycles at 0.5 C, while that of pristine Al is only 21%. The self-discharge propensity is alleviative and rate/power performance is improved. Elevating operating voltage (above 4.5 V) is a consequential approach to increasing the energy density of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Unfortunately, the corrosion of cathode aluminum (Al) current collector at high voltage limits the application of high-voltage LIBs. In this report, for the first time, MXene-Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets are proposed as an armored layer for Al current collector to conquer the corrosion under high operating voltage over 4.5 V versus Li + /Li. The MXene armored layer is fabricated via a self-assembly procedure, which exhibits ultra-thinness le...
