Systems and methods for virtual body measurements and modeling apparel

Abstract

Systems and methods for virtually measuring one or more aspects of a subject, e.g., human subject are provided. Based on a plurality of images, e.g., two images, body measurements of a subject may be derived and used to generate a virtual model. The virtual model can be used as a mechanism for modeling virtual clothing for presentation to a user. Characteristics of the clothing, e.g., sizing, colors, etc., can be rendered on the virtual model providing the user with an accurate virtual reality fitting room experience.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a Continuation and claims the benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15 / 948,952, filed on Apr. 9, 2018, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present disclosure relates generally to imaging and modeling, and more particularly to virtual measurements and modeling based on the virtual measurements.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART[0003]Virtual reality (VR) can refer to the creation of a virtual world / space experience that users may interact with. For example, computer-generated graphics may be used to create a simulated world or experience with which a user can interact. Oftentimes, a goal of VR systems or applications is to provide realism and as immersive an experience as possible.[0004]Use of the Internet has changed the landscape of retail purchasing for consumers. For example, many consumers may purchase items through online retailers without having to visit a bricks an...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, even when a consumer does visit a bricks and mortar store, the process of trying on clothing can be tedious and time consuming.

Although clothing is increasingly becoming available through online retailers, a consumer can only guess whether or not the clothing will fit properly, look pleasing, etc.

Regardless, the purchasing process is inefficient due to the need to return items, and one or both of the consumer and online retailer may incur additional expense to accommodate the return of items.
