Abstract:

In this paper, I present a method for acquiring and measuring the shape and deformation of a rectangular sheet of cloth. Stereo images and a correspondence algorithm are used to acquire a depth map of the cloth. The cloth has a grid printed on it, and points on this grid are detected to measure deformation. The technique presented here could be used to recover video sequences of moving cloth, or to measure the material properties of a sheet of cloth.
