In clothing design and manufacturing, the need to attach a foreground (such as an emblem or pocket) on the background (i.e., clothing surface) arises. For that, stitch forming line needs to be identified on the surface of the background that should be seamed with that of the foreground. Often, the shape of the background is non-developable thus the problem is not straightforward. In this paper we developed an optimization method to overlay the foreground on the background such that the planar deformation and the deformation variance of the foreground is minimized. We applied the optimization technique to various cases of developable and non-developable background cases and verified the optimization works as expected.

在服装设计和制造中，需要在背景（即服装表面）上附加一个前景（例如徽章或口袋）。为此，需要在应与前景接缝的背景表面上识别出针迹形成线。通常，背景的形状是不可展开的，因此问题并不简单。在本文中，我们开发了一种优化方法，将前景叠加在背景上，从而使前景的平面变形和变形方差最小化。我们将优化技术应用于各种可开发和不可开发的背景案例，并按预期验证了优化工作。
