Method and device for the virtual try-on of garments based on augmented reality with multi-detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing augmented reality virtual try-on systems for garments are limited by their inability to personalize garments and accommodate multiple users with diverse morphologies, and they often require bulky devices that cannot track movements or display users in different positions.
Innovation Solution
A method and device using an electronic communication device with a screen and image acquisition organ that detects multiple users' faces and shoulders, allows for digital data representation of their shapes and positions, and superimposes customizable garments and graphical motifs from a database, enabling virtual try-on while accommodating movement and multiple users.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a dedicated computer device or PC is used for virtual try-on, then the virtual try-on function can be achieved, but the device becomes heavy and cannot track user movements or display users in different positions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a camera to capture images of the user and creates a digital copy/representation of the user's body and clothing. This allows the virtual try-on function to be performed on a lightweight mobile device by processing images rather than requiring heavy dedicated hardware for real-time rendering and tracking.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces mechanical tracking systems with image-based detection and processing. Instead of using complex mechanical sensors and actuators for tracking user movements, the system uses a camera to capture images and algorithms to detect body parts and track movements through image analysis.
2Ease of operation
If garments are selected from a predefined database, then the virtual try-on can be performed, but the user cannot personalize the chosen garment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent separates the garment into different components: the base garment from the database and the graphical motif as a separate overlay layer. This segmentation allows users to independently select and apply custom graphical motifs to standard garments, enabling personalization while maintaining ease of operation through the database selection system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines a standard garment from the database with a user-selected graphical motif to create a personalized garment image. This merging allows the system to offer both the convenience of predefined garments and the creativity of custom design elements.
3Measurement precision
If only one person is detected, then the virtual try-on can be performed accurately, but multiple users with diverse morphologies cannot be accommodated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the image processing into independent detection and processing stages for each person. The system detects multiple faces and bodies separately, creates individual digital representations for each user, and processes them independently, allowing accurate measurement for each user while supporting multiple users simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal detection and processing framework that can handle any number of users with diverse morphologies. The system uses general algorithms for face and body detection that adapt to different individuals, allowing the same system to accurately process single users or groups of users with various body types and sizes.
