ANIMATABLE GARMENT EXTRACTION THROUGH VOLUMETRIC RECONSTRUCTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240346762 titled 'ANIMATABLE GARMENT EXTRACTION THROUGH VOLUMETRIC RECONSTRUCTION

The patent application describes a method and system for creating an animatable garment from a single image of a person wearing a fashion item. The system generates a 3D mesh of the person in a canonical space, matches the pose of the 3D mesh to the person's pose in the image, extracts the portion of the mesh corresponding to the fashion item, and creates an extended reality (XR) item using this extracted portion.

  • Accesses a monocular image of a person wearing a fashion item
  • Generates a 3D mesh of the person in a canonical space
  • Matches the pose of the 3D mesh to the person's pose in the image
  • Extracts the portion of the mesh corresponding to the fashion item
  • Creates an XR item using the extracted portion of the 3D mesh

Potential Applications: - Virtual try-on experiences for online shopping - Virtual fashion shows and presentations - Augmented reality gaming and entertainment experiences

Problems Solved: - Simplifies the process of creating animatable garments from single images - Enhances virtual shopping experiences by allowing customers to see how clothing items look on them in real-time

Benefits: - Improved customer engagement and satisfaction in online shopping - Enhanced visualization of fashion items in virtual environments - Streamlined garment design and animation processes

Commercial Applications: Title: Virtual Try-On Technology for Fashion Retailers Description: This technology can be utilized by fashion retailers to enhance their online shopping platforms, increase customer engagement, and improve the overall shopping experience for users.

Questions about animatable garment technology: 1. How does this technology improve the online shopping experience for customers? - This technology allows customers to virtually try on clothing items before making a purchase, enhancing their confidence in the fit and style of the garments. 2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond virtual try-on experiences? - This technology can also be used in virtual fashion shows, augmented reality gaming, and other entertainment experiences.


Original Abstract Submitted

methods and systems are disclosed for generating an animatable garment from a single image. the system accesses a monocular image depicting a person wearing a fashion item and generates a three-dimensional (3d) mesh representing the person in a canonical space. the system determines a pose of the person depicted in the monocular image and modifies a pose of the 3d mesh to match the determined pose of the person. the system extracts a portion of the 3d mesh corresponding to the fashion item and generates an extended reality (xr) item using the extracted portion of the 3d mesh.
