Abstract: Systems and methods for automating clothing transactions. The methods comprise: obtaining user input data and/or sensor data specifying characteristics of a body for an individual; transforming the user input data and/or sensor data into a 3D graphical representation of the body; analyzing the 3D graphical representation to derive 3D body measurements for the individual; identifying clothing items based on results from comparing the 3D body measurements to reference measurements associated with clothing items having different styles, sizes and brand associations; analyzing how a fabric elasticity and a garment construction could impact a fit of each identified clothing item relative to each body part of the individual based on the 3D graphical representation of the body; and filtering the clothing items based on results of the analyzing and fit preferences of the individual to generate recommended clothing items for the individual.

Abstract: System and methods for obtaining sizing of an irregularly shaped object. The methods comprise: displaying, by a display of a handheld scanner system, a 3D optical figure of a subject; displaying a grid superimposed over the 3D optical figure of the subject, the grid comprising a plurality of marks arranged in rows and columns; generating, by a radar module of the handheld scanner system, range data specifying a sensed spacing between the radar module and at least a surface of a first portion of the irregularly shaped object which is covered by at least one item; receiving, by a processor of the handheld scanner system, the range data from the radar module as the subject is being scanned; and causing at least one first visual characteristic of a first mark of said plurality of marks to change when corresponding range data is successfully received by the processor.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a refined 3D model. The methods comprise: constructing a subject point cloud using at least optical camera data acquired by scanning a subject; using radar depth data to modify the subject point cloud to represent an occluded portion of the subject's real surface; generating a plurality of reference point clouds using (1) a first 3D model of a plurality of 3D models that represents an object belonging to a general object class or category to which the subject belongs and (2) a plurality of different setting vectors; identifying a first reference point cloud from the plurality of reference point clouds that is a best fit for the subject point cloud; obtaining a setting vector associated with the first reference point cloud; and transforming the first 3D model into the refined 3D model using the setting vector.

Abstract: A handheld scanner system for obtaining sizing of an irregularly shaped object. The system includes a housing and an inertial measurement unit configured to record orientation and displacement history of the housing. An optical module includes at least one 3D optical sensor configured to generate a 3D point cloud of information about the object. A radar module includes at least one radar sensor configured to sense spacing between the housing and the object. A processor receives data from the inertial measurement unit, the optical module and the radar module and creates a map representing the object based on the received data.

Abstract: A circuit for providing gain compensation to a swept frequency response in an ultra-wideband system includes using a variable amplitude IF signal into a gigahertz mixer to control the amplitude of a ultra-wideband transmitter. The variable amplitude IF signal is generated by a multiplier receiving a fixed-level intermediate frequency (IF) signal and a gain control input. The gain control input being provided by an digital-to-analog converter controlled by gain control values in a look-up table. The values of the look-up table are generated by inverting, normalizing, and scaling the uncompensated gain response of the ultra-wideband system. The gain compensated system produces a substantially flat amplitude response at the output of a quadrature receiver.
