Abstract

In various example embodiments, a system and method for modifying publications of a network-based publication system are presented. The system receives a set of body coordinates from a client device and associates the set of body coordinates with a user account. The system identifies a set of clothing images within a set of publications retrieved as a result of a query. The system generates a set of modified clothing images from one or more images of the set of clothing images and causes presentation of the set of modified clothing images at the client device.

generating a set of modified clothing images, the set of modified clothing images including a representation of one or more body coordinate of the set of body coordinates; and

causing presentation of the set of clothing images and the set of modified clothing images at a client device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein associating the set of body coordinates with the user account further comprises:

generating a body coordinate file from the set of body coordinates; and

associating the body coordinate file with the user account.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein identifying the set of clothing images further comprises:

identifying one or more publications on a network based publication system, the one or more publications representing one or more articles of clothing associated with the one or more characteristics;

causing presentation of the one or more publications at a client device; and

receiving a selection of a selected publication of the one or more publications, the selected publication including the set of clothing images.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein identifying the set of clothing images further comprises:

identifying one or more clothing dimensions associated with clothing depicted within the set of clothing images;

identifying a set of dimension regions, the set of dimension regions including a dimension region for each of the one or more clothing dimensions, the dimension region being a portion of clothing for which a dimension of the one or more clothing dimensions is a measure; and

locating the set of dimension regions on the clothing depicted within the set of clothing images.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein generating the set of modified clothing images further comprises:

identifying one or more body coordinates of the set of body coordinate corresponding with the clothing depicted within the set of clothing images;

determining a body dimension associated with the one or more body coordinates;

determining a fit for the body dimension based on the set of dimension regions located on the clothing; and

modifying one or more clothing images of the set of clothing images based on the fit for the body dimension.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein determining the fit for the body dimension further comprises:

comparing the body dimension and the clothing dimension for the dimension region; and

determining the body dimension exceeds the clothing dimension.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein modifying the one or more clothing images further comprises:

determining a fit threshold for the clothing depicted within the set of clothing images;

determining the clothing dimension exceeds the fit threshold when the clothing dimension is combined with the body dimension; and

modifying the dimension region within the one or more clothing images based on the clothing dimension exceeding the fit threshold.

8. The method of claim 5, wherein determining the fit for the body dimension further comprises:

comparing the body dimension and the clothing dimension for the dimension region; and

determining the clothing dimension exceeds the body dimension.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein modifying the one or more clothing images further comprises:

determining a fit threshold for the clothing depicted within the set of clothing images;

determining the fit threshold exceeds the clothing dimension when the clothing dimension is combined with the body dimension; and

modifying the dimension region within the one or more clothing images based on the fit threshold exceeding the clothing dimension.

10. A system, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium storing processor executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising;

receiving a set of body coordinates;

associating the set of body coordinates with a user account of a first user;

identifying a set of clothing images;

generating a set of modified clothing images, the set of modified clothing images including a representation of one or more body coordinate of the set of body coordinates; and

causing presentation of the set of clothing images and the set of modified clothing images at a client device.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein associating the set of body coordinates with the user account further comprises:

generating a body coordinate file from the set of body coordinates; and

associating the body coordinate file with the user account.

12. The system of claim 10, wherein identifying the set of clothing images further comprises:

receiving a query including one or more characteristics of an article of clothing;

identifying one or more publications on a network based publication system, the one or more publications representing one or more articles of clothing associated with the one or more characteristics;

causing presentation of the one or more publications at a client device; and

receiving a selection of a selected publication of the one or more publications, the selected publication including the set of clothing images.

13. The system of claim 10, wherein identifying the set of clothing images further comprises:

identifying one or more clothing dimensions associated with clothing depicted within the set of clothing images;

identifying a set of dimension regions, the set of dimension regions including a dimension region for each of the one or more clothing dimensions, the dimension region being a portion of clothing for which a dimension of the one or more clothing dimensions is a measure; and

locating the set of dimension regions on the clothing depicted within the set of clothing images.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein generating the set of modified clothing images comprises:

identifying one or more body coordinates of the set of body coordinate corresponding with the clothing depicted within the set of clothing images;

determining a body dimension associated with the one or more body coordinates;

determining a fit for the body dimension based on the set of dimension regions located on the clothing; and

modifying one or more clothing images of the set of clothing images based on the fit for the body dimension.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein determining the fit for the body dimension further comprises:

comparing the body dimension and the clothing dimension for the dimension region;

determining the body dimension exceeds the clothing dimension;

determining a fit threshold for the clothing depicted within the set of clothing images;

determining the clothing dimension exceeds the fit threshold when the clothing dimension is combined with the body dimension; and

modifying the dimension region within the one or more clothing images based on the clothing dimension exceeding the fit threshold.

16. The system of claim 14, wherein determining the fit for the body dimension further comprises:

comparing the body dimension and the clothing dimension for the dimension region;

determining the clothing dimension exceeds the body dimension;

determining a fit threshold for the clothing depicted within the set of clothing images;

determining the fit threshold exceeds the clothing dimension when the clothing dimension is combined with the body dimension; and

modifying the dimension region within the one or more clothing images based on the fit threshold exceeding the clothing dimension.

17. A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium comprising processor executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

receiving a set of body coordinates;

associating the set of body coordinates with a user account of a first user;
