Abstract

The rise of virtual try-on (VTON) technology has the potential to transform online shopping by enabling users to visualize how they would look wearing a garment virtually. However, achieving realistic results that preserve garment details while ensuring natural-looking images remains challenging. Recently, diffusion-based virtual try-on models have demonstrated significant advancements, generating high-quality images that accurately preserve fine garment details and fit. Despite their promising results, training these models is really computationally expensive, requiring powerful GPUs that are often unavailable in enterprise or even in research environments. To address this limitation, we focused on improving the inference performance of IDM-VTON, one of the leading state-of-the-art models. This project focused on enhancing two of the most impactful components of IDM-VTON's inference components: garment captions and mask generation. To achieve this, we proposed three key tasks: automating garment captions, developing a garment caption classifier and improving mask generation. For the first task, a vision-language model (BLIP) was fine-tuned to automate garment caption generation. By incorporating textual elements from garments, the model improved visual fidelity and text alignment in the generated images. The second task involved a simple classification model to categorize garment captions into upper, lower, or dress. The third task compared six mask generation strategies,…
