📄 Abstract

This work tackles occlusion issues in Virtual Try-On (VTON).
We taxonomize failures into:

  1. Inherent Occlusions – “ghost” garments from the reference image that remain in the result.
  2. Acquired Occlusions – distorted human anatomy that visually blocks the new outfit.

To remove both, we propose a mask-free VTON framework with two plug-and-play operations:

  • Background Pre-Replacement – swaps the background before generation so the model never confuses clothes with body/background, suppressing inherent occlusions.
  • Covering-and-Eliminating – enforces human-aware semantics, yielding anatomically plausible shapes and thus fewer acquired occlusions.

The operations are architecture-agnostic: drop them into GANs or diffusion models without re-design.
