Abstract: Virtual try-on systems have become increasingly popular in the e-commerce industry, allowing customers to virtually
try on clothes and accessories before making a purchase. However, current virtual fitting methods often suffer from pixel
disruption and low resolution, leading to unrealistic try-on images. To solve this problem, we propose a Parser Free Appearance
Flow Network (PFAFN) methodology that generates try-on images by simultaneously warping clothes and generating
segmentation maps while exchanging information. Our experimental results show that PFAFN outperforms existing methods at
a resolution of 192 x 256. The proposed virtual try-on system was implemented using Python and TensorFlow. The system's
testing and validation were also discussed. Our research contributes to the development of more realistic virtual try-on systems
that could enhance customer experience and satisfaction in the e-commerce industry.
Keywords: Virtual try-on, appearance flow network, deep neural networks, CNNs, Fréchet inception distance, instance

I. INTRODUCTION
Virtual try-on systems have gained widespread popularity in the e-commerce industry as they allow customers to visualize how an
apparel item would look on them before making a purchase. The traditional method of shopping for apparel involves visiting a store
and trying on clothes, which can be time-consuming and tiring. However, with the advent of virtual try-on systems, customers can
try on clothes virtually and save time and effort.
Despite the growing popularity of virtual try-on systems, there are still several challenges that need to be addressed. One of the
major problems is the pixel disruption that occurs during the virtualization process, which results in low-resolution and inaccurate
images. This problem is particularly significant when dealing with clothing items thathave complex textures and patterns.
The motivation behind this research is to address the problem of pixel disruption and develop a methodology that generates high-
resolution virtualization while warping clothes and generating segmentation simultaneously while exchanging information. The
proposed methodology of the Parser Free Appearance Flow Network aims to solve this problem and outperform existing virtual
fitting methods at 192 x 256 resolution.
The objectives of this research are to develop a virtual try-on system that generates high-resolution virtualization, provides accurate
segmentation, and exchanges information between the clothing item and the wearer's body. The contributions of this research are a
new methodology for virtual fitting, which improves the accuracy and resolution of virtualization and provides a more realistic
experience for customers.

II. RELATED WORK

Several virtual try-on systems have been proposed in the literature, and the most recent ones leverage deep learning techniques to
achieve accurate and realistic virtualization. One such system is the Viton network proposed by Han et al. (2018), which uses an
image-based approach to generate a virtual try-on image. The Viton network incorporates an encoder-decoder network, a spatial
transformer network, and a generator network, which generate a warped and blended image of the clothing item onto the wearer's
body.
Another virtual try-on system is the CP-VTON network proposed by Wang et al. (2020), which uses a clothing parsing network and
a spatial transformer generator network to generate a virtual try-on image. The CP-VTON network solves the problem of
misalignment between the clothing item and the wearer's body by using a two-stage approach that first warps the clothing item to
the same pose as the wearer and then blends the clothing item onto the wearer's body. Despite the advancements in virtual try-on
systems, there are still several limitations and research gaps that need to be addressed. One of the main limitations is the problem of
pixel disruption during the virtualization process, which results in low-resolution and inaccurate images.

Additionally, most existing virtual try-on systems are designed to work with specific types of clothing items, such as shirts or
dresses, and may not be generalizable to other types of clothing items.
Furthermore, there is a need for virtual try-on systems that can handle complex clothing items, such as those with intricate textures
and patterns, and generate accurate segmentations. There is also a need for virtual try- on systems that can exchange information
between the clothing item and the wearer's body, such as adjusting the size and fit of the clothing item in real time.

III. METHODOLOGY
Virtual try-on systems enable customers to visualize how clothing items look on them before making a purchase, reducing the need
for physical try-ons and enhancing the online shopping experience. The proposed virtual try-on system uses the Parser Free
Appearance Flow Network (PFAFN), which addresses the problem of pixel disruption and generates high-resolution virtualization.
The PFAFN incorporates three main components: the clothing feature extractor, the pose feature extractor, and the flow estimator.
The clothing feature extractor and pose feature extractor extract the features of the clothing item andthe wearer's body, respectively,
while the flow estimator generates the optical flow between the clothing item and thewearer's body.

The PFAFN's significance lies in its ability to generate accurate segmentations and exchange information between the clothing item
and the wearer's body in real-time, resulting in a more realistic virtual try-on experience for customers. The PFAFN's methodology
involves the following steps:
1) Clothing Feature Extraction: The PFAFN extracts the features of the clothing item using a pre-trained ResNet network. The
ResNet network extracts the clothing's semantic features, which enable the PFAFN to segment the clothing item from the
background accurately.
2) Pose Feature Extraction: The PFAFN extracts the pose features of the wearer's body using a pre- trained pose estimation
network. The pose estimation network detects the pose of the wearer's body, enabling the PFAFN to warp the clothing itemto the
same pose as the wearer's body.
3) Flow Estimation: The PFAFN generates the optical flow between the clothing item and the wearer's body using a flow
estimator network. The flow estimator network estimates the dense correspondence between the clothing item and the wearer's
body, enabling the PFAFN to warp the clothing item to the same pose as the wearer's body accurately.
4) Warping And Blending: The PFAFN warps the clothing item to the same pose as the wearer's body using the optical flow and
blends the clothing item onto the wearer's body. The blending process is done using an attention mechanism that enables the
PFAFN to blend the clothing item's details and texture onto the wearer's body more naturally.

To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, we will use the Fréchet inception distance (FID) as a performance metric
to compare the quality of the virtual try-on images generated by the proposed PFAFN with those generated by existing virtual fitting
methods. This will enable us to determine whether the proposed methodology outperforms existing methods in terms of image
quality and realism. The FID is calculated as:

The proposed methodology has been tested on a benchmark dataset containing various clothing items and body poses. The results
show that the PFAFN outperforms existing virtual fitting methods in terms of image quality and realism. It can be graphically
represented as:

IV. IMPLEMENTATION
The proposed virtual try-on system consists of several components, including the Parser Free Appearance Flow Network (PFAFN),
the image warping and segmentation modules, and the user interface. The system's UML design includes several classes, including
the Dataset class, the Model class, and the Trainer class.
The Dataset class is responsible for loading and preprocessing the dataset of clothing images and corresponding segmentation maps.
The Model class implements the PFAFN architecture and is responsible for training and inference of the deep learning model. The
Trainer class provides the training loop and validation routines for the model.
The system's user interface is designed using React
- a javascript framework. The user interface provides a simple and intuitive way for users to upload an image of themselves and select
clothing items from a catalog. The user interface also displays the output of the virtual try-on system, includingthe augmented image
of the user wearing the selected clothing items.
To validate the proposed virtual try-on system, we used the VTON dataset, which consists of over 16,253 clothing images and
corresponding segmentation maps.

We evaluated the performance of the proposed system using the Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) metric, which measures the
similarity between the distribution of real and generated images. We compared the performance of the proposed PFAFN model with
several baseline models, including the DeepFashion Inpainting Model and the FashionGAN model.
Our results show that the proposed PFAFN model outperforms existing virtual fitting methods at 192x256 resolution, with an FID
score of 10.09. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed virtual try-on system and its potential for improving the
online shopping experience for customers.

V. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS

We evaluated the proposed virtual try-on system using the Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) metric, which measures the similarity
between the distribution of real and generated images. We compared the performance of the proposed PFAFN model with several
baseline models, including the DeepFashion Inpainting Model and the FashionGAN model.
Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed PFAFN model outperforms existing virtual fitting methods at 192 x 256 resolution,
with an FID score of 10.09. Thebaseline models had FID scores of 36.8 and 30.6, respectively, indicating a significant improvement
in thequality of the generated images.
Our results also show that the proposed virtual try- on system can generate high-quality augmented images of users wearing
selected clothing items, with realistic textures and colors. The system's performance is robust to changes in the lighting an
Background of the input image, demonstrating its ability to generalize to a variety of settings.
The comparative analysis of the proposed PFAFN model and the baseline models suggests that the PFAFN model's performance
improvement is due to its ability to solve the problem of pixel disruption and generate high- resolution virtualizations. The PFAFN
model achieves this by simultaneously warping clothes and generating segmentation while exchanging information between these
two tasks.
The significance and implications of our research are in the potential for improving the online shopping experience for customers.
The proposed virtual try-on system can help customers visualize how clothing items will look on them before making a purchase,
reducing the likelihood of returns and increasing customer satisfaction. Our findings suggest that the proposed PFAFN model can
provide a more accurate and realistic virtual try-on experience compared to existing methods.

VI. CONCLUSION
In this research, we proposed a virtual try-on system based on the Parser Free Appearance Flow Network (PFAFN), which solves the
problem of pixel disruption and generates high-resolution virtualizations. Our experiments show that the proposed PFAFN model
outperforms existing virtual fitting methods, achieving a more realistic virtual try-on experience.
The proposed virtual try-on system can provide a more accurate and realistic representation of how clothing items will look on
customers before making a purchase. This can increase customer satisfaction and reduce the likelihood of returns, ultimately
improving the online shopping experience.
Our research demonstrates the potential of the PFAFN model in the context of virtual try-on systems. We believe that this model
can be applied to other areas, such as virtual makeup try-on or home design, to generate high- quality augmented images of users
interacting with various products.
In future research, we aim to extend the proposed virtual try-on system to support 3D models, enabling customers to interact with
products from different perspectives. We also plan to explore the use of alternative architectures, such as Generative Adversarial
Networks (GANs), to further improve the realism of virtual try-on images.
