Abstract: Methods and systems generate customized virtual try on (VTO) components providing augmented reality/VTO experiences. A VTO engine batch processes at least one before model image to pre-render after model images. Webpage components are customizable via a configuration portal to define different VTO experiences for different products/services and different product/service instances (e.g., hair, nail or makeup). Components can integrate with a webpage, as an advertisement. In an embodiment, customization information can include identification of brand, product/service and instances thereof, the VTO engine to render instances, display text and digital marketing information. In an embodiment, brand and product/service data is pre-stored to a data store for use to generate the components (e.g., from templates) responsive to the customization information.

Further, a method including moving a scanning device over a facial feature, taking a plurality of images of the facial feature with a camera as the scanning device moves over the facial feature, detecting a position of the facial feature with the position sensor as the scanning device moves over the facial feature, combining the plurality of images together, and generating a three-dimensional model of the facial feature.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and system according to embodiments provide image-to-image translations such as synthesis of ultraviolet (UV) images from input images in a RGB (red, green blue) color model. In an embodiment, a trained generator generates overlapping UV patch images from overlapping RBG patch images extracted from an input image. The overlapping UV patch images are blended using a Gaussian weighting factor applied to overlapping pixels having a same location in the input image. The Gaussian blending distributes weights to pixels relative to the pixel's distance to the center of its patch, with weighting being highest at the center.

Abstract: Methods and systems for VTO provide an augmented reality experience. Webpage components define different VTO experiences for different products/services and different instances (e.g., hair, nail or makeup products with different colors). The components can integrate with a webpage, for example, as an advertisement. When executed on a user device, the components provide a VTO for a particular product including a collection of interfaces that provide a model image experience. Pre-rendered “after” model images using an appropriate VTO engine show the product/services. The after model images can be presented prior to a live user image experience enabled by a corresponding user device executed VTO engine rendering a product instance to a user image. The model experience can be presented while the user image experience (e.g. its VTO engine) is readied. The model experience can be presented in a same/overlapping region as the user image experience, for example.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for computing systems, methods and computer program products to produce efficient image-to-image translation by adapting unpaired datasets for supervised learning. A first model (a powerful model) may be defined and conditioned using unsupervised learning to produce a synthetic paired dataset from the unpaired dataset, translating images from a first domain to a second domain and images from the second domain to the first domain. The synthetic data generated is useful as ground truths in supervised learning. The first model may be conditioned to overfit the unpaired dataset to enhance the quality of the paired dataset (e.g. the synthetic data generated). A run-time model such as for a target device is trained using the synthetic paired dataset and supervised learning. The run-time model is small and fast to meet the processing resources of the target device (e.g. a personal user device such as a smart phone, tablet, etc.
