InverseDraping: Recovering Sewing Patterns from 3D Garment Surfaces via BoxMesh Bridging
This work addresses the highly ill-posed inverse mapping from 3D garments to 2D sewing patterns, which is complicated by geometric–structural coupling induced by wrinkles. To resolve this challenge, the authors propose a two-stage framework that introduces BoxMesh as a structured intermediate representation to explicitly decouple panel intrinsic geometry, stitching topology, and wrinkle deformation. In the first stage, BoxMesh is reconstructed from the 3D garment; in the second, a geometry-driven and semantics-aware autoregressive model parses the BoxMesh into parametric patterns, incorporating physical constraints and supporting variable-length sequence generation. Evaluated on the GarmentCodeData benchmark, the method achieves state-of-the-art performance and demonstrates strong generalization to real-world scans and single-view images.
