When performing cloth-related tasks, such as garment hanging, it is often important to identify and grasp certain structural regions—a shirt's collar as opposed to its sleeve, for instance. However, due to cloth deformability, these manipulation activities, which are essential in domestic, health care, and industrial contexts, remain challenging for robots. In this paper, we focus on how to segmen...
