ViTon-GUN: Person-to-Person Virtual Try-on via Garment Unwrapping

The image-based Person-to-Person (P2P) virtual try-on, involving the direct transfer of garments from one person to another, is one of the most promising applications of human-centric image generation. However, existing approaches struggle to accurately learn the clothing deformation when directly warping the garment from the source pose onto the target pose. To address this, we propose Person-to-Person virtual try-on via Garment UNwrapping, a novel framework dubbed as ViTon-GUN. Specifically, we divide the P2P task into two subtasks: Person-to-Garment (P2G) and Garment-to-Person (G2P). The P2G aims to unwrap the target garment from a source pose to a canonical representation based on A-Pose. In the P2G stage, we enable the implementation of a flow-based P2G scheme by introducing an A-Pose estimator and establishing comprehensive training conditions. Building upon this step-wise strategy, we introduce a novel pipeline for P2P try-on. Once trained, the P2G strategy can serve as a “plug-and-play” module, which efficiently adapts existing diffusion-based pre-trained G2P models to P2P try-on without further training. Quantitative and qualitative experiments demonstrate that our ViTon-GUN performs remarkably well on P2P try-on, even for dresses with intricate design details.
