Problems solved by technology

However, since a curved surface cannot be projected onto a flat surface without distortion, when a flat image is printed on a curved surface, the image itself will appear distorted

Embodiment Construction

[0023] It should be understood that while the discussion herein describes embodiments of the invention in the field of making custom printed hats, it should be understood that the invention is not limited thereto and is not intended to depict graphic designs being printed or projected. Any application of an image of what the object will actually look like when applied to an actual object having a three-dimensional surface.

[0024] In order to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the present invention, the following discussion will first briefly introduce the concept of projecting a two-dimensional (2D) image onto a three-dimensional (3D) curved surface. first go to Figure 1A , Figure 1A An exemplary 2D design image 100 is shown that includes a circle 102 , a set of lines 104 , 106 , 108 below the circle, and a set of lines 110 , 112 , 114 above the circle. The lines below the circle 102 include a convex curve 104 , a straight horizontal line 106 , and a concave curve...

Abstract

A design image is transformed into a projection design image comprising the design image as it will appear when projected onto a physical 3-dimensional (3-D) curved object. In an embodiment, pixels of the design image are mapped into corresponding mapped pixels in a projection design image according to how the design image will appear in a flattened image of the design projected or printed onto the object having 3-dimension curves. The projection design image may be combined with a product image of the object having 3-dimension curves to generate a customized product image of the object having 3-dimension curves incorporating the design image. The customized product image is displayed to a user when customizing a product with a design to ensure that the user understands how the physical product will appear when the design is printed or projected onto the physical product.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the display of product images on electronic displays, and more particularly to the display of customized product images of actual products customized with a planar two-dimensional design, substantially as if the design were projected or printed onto a It will look like this when on a surfaced object. Background technique [0002] E-commerce websites where customers can view and order products for delivery have existed for several years. Recently, websites have been introduced that allow customers to customize products with graphics printed on them prior to delivery. For example, an online printing service such as VistaPrint.com may offer products such as business cards, postcards, pens, T-shirts, and other products that may be printed with user-customized designs. Typically, these sites allow users to first view non-customized images of the various products available from the provider. When a user selects a particula...
