Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods are disclosed for fitting a subject by generating one or more 3D deformable models for an anatomical portion; capturing images of a user anatomical portion and a reference object using a mobile camera; generating an updated model of the user anatomical portion by selecting a closest 3D deformable model to the user anatomical portion and matching points on the closest 3D deformable model to one or more predetermined points on the user anatomical portion; and selecting a best-fit product from a plurality of product variations based on the 3D model.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for fitting a subject, comprising: pre-generating one or more 3D models for an anatomical portion; capturing images of a user anatomical portion using a mobile camera; performing dimension determination with motion tracking, area learning and depth sensing of the anatomical portion; generating an updated model of the user anatomical portion by selecting a closest pre-generated 3D model to the user anatomical portion and matching points on the closest 3D model to one or more predetermined points on the user anatomical portion; selecting a pattern or color from a plurality of product variations; blending the pattern or color onto the 3D model with the determined dimensions; and displaying the color on the anatomical portion. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile camera comprises a smart phone or a portable camera. 3. The method of claim 1 , comprising applying a 3D deformable template to the user anatomical portion and warping the model to one or more predetermined points on the 3D model. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user anatomical portion comprises hair, foot, hand, finger, toe, wrist, neck, or ear, wherein the object comprises jewelry. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the jewelry comprises cosmetic jewelry, a facial jewelry, hand jewelry, foot jewelry, ear jewelry, dental jewelry, navel jewelry or a hair jewelry. 6. The method of claim 1 , comprising providing a 3D printer for printing a custom object, or providing a bed of sand having a liquid flowable state and a solid state with an impression for a reformably molded object. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user anatomical portion comprises a body portion, a head, a chest region, a leg, and the object comprises body protection gear. 8. The method of claim 1 , comprising monitoring user health using the 3D model of the anatomical portion. 9. The method of claim 1 , comprising selecting a best fit from apparel variations or footwear variations. 10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user anatomical portion comprises a face and the object comprises facial makeup product. 11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user anatomical portion comprises a head and the object variations comprises hairstyles. 12. The method of claim 1 , comprising rendering a virtual reality view or augmented reality view. 13. The method of claim 1 , comprising modeling one or more applications of light foundation creme, eye disguise, highlighter, concealer or blush and recommending a makeup to the subject. 14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user anatomical portion comprises a toe or a finger, comprising fitting a ring to the toe or the finger. 15. The method of claim 1 , comprising matching used jewelry or consigned jewelry to the subject. 16. The method of claim 1 , comprising rendering the product variations on an online portal. 17. The method of claim 1 , comprising providing augmented reality view or virtual reality view of the one or more products with a user custom view. 18. A method for selecting a product, comprising: selecting one or more 3D models from a product database; capturing images of a user view of a location using a mobile camera and performing motion tracking, area learning and depth sensing a product body portion; generating an updated model of the location by selecting a closest 3D product model to the user view and matching points on the closest 3D product model to one or more predetermined points on the user view; selecting a pattern or color from a plurality of product variations; blending the pattern or color onto the product model with the determined dimensions; and displaying the color on the product model. 19. The method of claim 18 , comprising providing augmented reality view or virtual reality view of the one or more products with a user custom view. 20. A method for fitting, comprising: selecting one or more 3D models from a product database; capturing images of a user view using a mobile camera; performing motion tracking, area learning and depth sensing for objects in the user view; determining dimensions for the user view by motion tracking, area learning, and depth sensing of objects in the user view; generating an updated model of the user view by selecting a closest 3D model to the user view and matching points on the closest 3D product model to one or more predetermined points on the user view; selecting a pattern or color from a plurality of product variations; blending the pattern or color onto the 3D product model with the determined dimensions; and displaying the color on the 3D product model.
