METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DISPLAYING A GRAPHIC IMAGE OF A PERSON MODELING A GARMENT

WIPO Patent Application WO1997010573

A3

In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a computer system for displaying clothing on a rendered image of a human body referred to as a virtual dressing room system ("VDRS"). The VDRS receives a series of contour lines defining the three-dimensional shape of the human body. A contour line is a series of points that defines the perimeter of the body in a horizontal plane. The VDRS also receives a sequence of points defining the two-dimensional shape of the clothing. The VDRS also scales the sequence of points defining the two-dimensional shape of the clothing to the approximate width of a portion of the human body over which the clothing is worn. For each point of the two-dimensional shape, the VDRS identifies a corresponding point on a contour line, and adjusts the point of the two-dimensional shape of the clothing to correspond to the identified point. The VDRS renders the shape of the human body on a display device, and lenders the scaled and adjusted two-dimensional shape of the clothing on the display device to effect the display of the human body wearing the clothing.
