Abstract

A computer-implemented method for generating a three-dimensional (3-D) model of a virtual try-on product. At least a portion of an object is scanned. The object includes at least first and second surfaces. An aspect of the first surface is detected. An aspect of the second surface is detected, the aspect of the second surface being different from the aspect of the first surface. A polygon mesh of the first and second surfaces is generated from the scan of the object.

Claims

generating a polygon mesh of the first and second surfaces from the scan of the object.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

positioning the polygon mesh in relation to a 3-D fitting object in a virtual 3-D space, wherein the 3-D fitting object comprises a predetermined shape and size; and

determining at least one point of intersection between the polygon mesh and the 3-D fitting object.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

modifying one or more vertices of the polygon mesh corresponding to the first surface to simulate the first surface.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein modifying one or more vertices of the polygon mesh corresponding to the first surface further comprises:

determining at least one symmetrical aspect of the object;

upon determining the symmetrical aspect of the object, scanning the portion of the object based on the determined symmetrical aspect; and

mirroring a result of the scan of the object in order to generate a portion of the polygon mesh that corresponds to a portion of the object not scanned.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

applying a texture map generated from the scan of the object to the polygon mesh, wherein the texture map includes a plurality of images depicting the first and second surfaces of the object, and wherein the texture map maps a two-dimensional (2-D) coordinate of one of the plurality of images depicting the first and second surfaces of the object to a 3-D coordinate of the generated polygon mesh of the object.
