Wearable Item Visualizer Deformation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current visual representations of wearable items on models do not optimally depict how the items would appear on different body types, leading to uncertainty for potential purchasers.
Innovation Solution
A wearable item visualizer is developed, allowing users to choose a target body type from a set of available options and generating a visualization of the item by deforming it to fit the selected body using a triangle mesh deformation process, which includes landmark-based adaptation and texture mapping.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a picture of a wearable item on a model is used for visualization, then the item can be displayed in a catalog, but the visualization does not accurately represent how the item would look on different body types
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by deforming the wearable item image according to different body type parameters. The system stores multiple body type definitions with specific parameters (body type, weight, height, build) and transforms the original item image to match the selected body type's parameters, enabling accurate visualization across different body types while maintaining image quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality by creating a single visualization system that can accommodate multiple body types. The deformable image template can be adapted to various body types (athletic, average, curvy, plus-size) and different garment types (tops, bottoms, dresses), making the system universally applicable rather than requiring separate visualizations for each body type-garment combination.
2Measurement precision
If multiple visualizations for different body types are created manually, then accurate representations can be provided, but the complexity and time required increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the wearable item image into distinct anatomical regions (torso, sleeves, legs, etc.) that can be independently deformed. This segmentation allows the system to apply specific transformation parameters to different body regions without affecting the entire image, reducing computational complexity while maintaining accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining body type parameters and deformation templates before actual visualization is needed. The system stores standardized body type definitions and pre-processes images into deformable templates with marked anatomical regions, so that when a user requests a visualization, the system can quickly apply pre-computed transformations rather than creating images from scratch.
3Measurement precision
If high-resolution images are used for deformation, then quality is maintained, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by focusing computational resources only on the regions of the image that require deformation (the wearable item and adjacent body areas) rather than processing the entire high-resolution image. The system identifies and processes only the relevant portions of the image that contain the garment and immediate surrounding areas, reducing overall processing time while maintaining quality in the critical regions.

AI summary
Visualizing a wearable item can include: generating a user interface that enables a user to choose a target body for visualizing a wearable item from among a set of available target bodies; and generating a visualization of the wearable item on the target body chosen by the user by deforming the wearable item to fit the target body chosen by the user.
