Patent ID: 8737741

Claim:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having one or more computer programs stored thereon for execution by one or more computing devices, such that execution of the computer programs by the computing devices cause performance of a method comprising: receiving a digital image of a first garment having one or more first garment portions, a user having identified the first garment portions as matching one or more corresponding second garment portions of a second garment; determining a probability of accidental match of the first garment within the digital image in relation to the second garment, by using a statistical model based on one or more parameters and based on analyses of the first garment portions; and outputting the probability of accidental match, wherein the parameters comprise one of: a supposition that the garment including the first garment portions and the garment including the second garment portions have been manufactured using a same garment design template in that the same garment design template has been used to guide cutting of raw patterned fabric that was then sewn together to make the garments, such that the same garment design template is a template in that the same garment design template guides how the raw patterned fabric is to be cut; a supposition that the garment including the first garment portions and the garment including the second garment portions have been manufactured using different garment design templates in that the different garment design templates have been used to guide cutting of raw patterned fabric that was then sewn to ether to make the garments, such that the different garment design templates are each a template in that the different garment design templates each guide how the raw patterned fabric is to be cut; a supposition that the garment including the first garment portions and the garment including the second garment portions have been manufactured using face-to-face adjacent fabric plies within a stack of fabric plies, in which pattern faces of the adjacent fabric lies face one another, that are cut and then sewn together to make the garments; a multiplicity of the garment including the second garment portions in relation to the first garment portion, the multiplicity denoting a number of areas of the garment including the second garments portion that are visually similar to the first garment portions, the areas including the second garment portions; a supposition that strict ply integrity has been maintained during the manufacture of the garments, where strict ply integrity means that at least medium and large pieces of a garment are made from a common ply of fabric, such that the medium pieces of the garment are pieces having first sizes greater than a predetermined size, and the large pieces of the garment are pieces having second sizes larger than the first sizes.
