  • Publication number: 20230129747
    Abstract: A messaging system performs virtual clothing try-on. A method of virtual clothing try-on may include accessing a target garment image and a person image of a person wearing a source garment and processing the person image to generate a source garment mask and a person mask. The method may further include processing the source garment mask, the person mask, the target garment image, and a target garment mask to generate a warping, the warping indicating a warping to apply to the target garment image. The method may further include processing the target garment to warp the target garment in accordance with the warping to generate a warped target garment image, processing the warped target garment image to blend with the person image to generate a person with a blended target garment image, and processing the person with blended target garment image to fill in holes to generate an output image.
