Patent number: 11915352Abstract: A technique for combining first and second images respectively depicting first and second subject matter to facilitate virtual presentation. The first image is processed to identify portions or regions of the first subject matter and determine an estimated depth location of each portion or region. A composite image is generated that depicts the second subject matter overlayed, inserted or otherwise combined with the first subject matter. One or more of the portions or regions of the first subject matter are added, removed, enhanced or modified in the composite image in order to generate a realistic appearance of the first subject matter combined with the second subject matter. The composite image is caused to be displayed as a virtual presentation.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: WALMART APOLLO, LLCInventors: Alon Kristal, Nir Appleboim, Yael Wiesel, Israel Harry Zimmerman

Patent number: 10991067Abstract: A technique for transforming an image of an article for virtual presentation without transformation-induced distortion of a shape-invariant area of the article. In an embodiment, a first region of the article image may be identified using automated image processing. The first region may represent a shape-sensitive area of the article whose aspect ratio needs to be controlled when the article image is transformed for use in the virtual presentation. The article image may be transformed to provide a transformed article image for use in the virtual presentation. The transformation of the article image may include a differential transformation that transforms a shape or size of the first region of the article image differently than a shape or size of a second region of the article image representing an area of the article outside the shape-sensitive area. The differential transformation prevents distortion of the first region of the article image.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Zeekit Online Shopping Ltd.Inventors: Nir Appleboim, Yael Wiesel, Alon Kristal, Israel Harry Zimmerman

Patent number: 10964078Abstract: System, device, and method of image processing, particularly utilizing machine learning and computer vision. A user selects a particular shirt from an online catalog; and instead of seeing an image of the shirt on the shelf or being worn by a model, the system generates and shows to the user an image of that particular shirt being virtually dressed by that particular user. The user requests the system to show search results for blue pants; and instead of producing generic images of blue pants, on the shelf or worn by various models, the system generates user-tailored search results that shown various types of blue pants being virtually worn by the user himself, or virtually worn by a particular other person that is selected by the user. The system enhances the product image by correcting it and by adding realistically-looking shading and wrinkles.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2017Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Zeekit Online Shopping Ltd.Inventors: Yael Wiesel, Nir Appleboim, Alon Kristal, Eyal Gavish

Patent number: 10740941Abstract: A technique for combining first and second images respectively depicting first and second subject matter to facilitate virtual presentation. A first image depicting the first subject matter may be received digital form. A second image depicting the second subject matter may also be received digital form. The second image may be image-processed in various ways to prepare the second subject matter for virtual presentation with the first subject matter. A composite image may be generated that depicts the second subject matter overlayed onto the first subject matter. The composite image may be caused to be displayed in a virtual presentation.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2019Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Zeekit Online Shopping LtdInventors: Alon Kristal, Nir Appleboim, Yael Wiesel, Israel Harry Zimmerman

Patent number: 10489955Abstract: A technique for combining user selectable product images and facilitating visualization-assisted virtual dressing. A user image comprising a photograph or video of a real human subject may be received digital form. The user image may be incorporated into an anchor image representing a digital canvas to which one or more clothing product images may be added. One or more clothing products having one or more associated product images may be identified. The one or more product images may be image-processed in various ways. Virtual dressing of the user image may be performed by incorporating the one or more product images into the anchor image to generate a composite anchor image that depicts the one or more products being worn by the human subject according to an intended manner of use thereof. The composite anchor image is caused to be displayed.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2019Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Zeekit Online Shopping LtdInventors: Alon Kristal, Nir Appleboim, Yael Wiesel, Israel Harry Zimmerman

Patent number: 10290136Abstract: A technique for combining user selectable product images and facilitating visualization-assisted coordinated product acquisition. One or more products having one or more associated product images may be identified. The one or more product images may be image processed by incorporating the image(s) into an anchor image to generate a composite anchor image that depicts the one or more products according to an intended manner of use thereof. The image processing may include using product dimension information to scale the one or more product images as necessary to match a scale of the anchor image. The composite anchor image may be caused to be displayed in association with one or more user interface elements, the user interface elements being operable to initiate a coordinated product transaction involving the one or more products. Responsive to the one or more user interface elements being activated, the coordinated product transaction may be initiated.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2016Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: Zeekit Online Shopping LtdInventors: Alon Kristal, Nir Appleboim, Yael Wiesel, Israel Harry Zimmerman
