  • Publication number: 20150310672
    Abstract: Method for creating a final real-time photorealistic image of a virtual object, corresponding to a real object arranged on an original photo of a user, in a realistic orientation related to the user's position, includes: detecting the presence of an area for the object in the photo; determining the position of characteristic points of the area for the object in the photo; determining the 3D orientation of the face, the angles ? and ? of the camera having taken the photo relative to the principal plane of the area; selecting the texture to be used for the virtual object, in accordance with the angle-of-view, and generating the view of the virtual object in 3D; creating a first layered rendering in the correct position consistent with the position of the placement area for the object in the original photo; obtaining the photorealistic rendering by adding overlays to obtain the final image.

  • Publication number: 20140253875
    Abstract: A method for determining ocular and optical measurements for the production and fitting of corrective eyeglasses for a user with the aid of the a camera. The method utilizes a protocol for reconstructing the system of the user's eyes in three dimensions by modeling the system of the eye, thereby providing precise ocular and optical measurements. The method uses test objects that are connected or not connected to the user's face.

  • Publication number: 20140055570
    Abstract: Disclosed is model and a method for producing dynamic photorealistic 3D models that is adaptive for visualization and real time fitting. The invention aims at a method for digitizing a three-dimensional object possibly including transparent or reflective parts from two-dimensional views of this object, the method including: A step for movable fastening of the object to a support, pivoting about a vertical axis, placed opposite at least two vertically spaced image shooting devices, A step for acquisition of object images by the image shooting devices during a rotation of the object about the vertical axis, A colorimetric correction step for the acquired images.

  • Publication number: 20140010439
    Abstract: A method of detecting a predefined set of characteristic points of a face from an image of the face includes a step of making the shape and/or the texture of a hierarchy of statistical models of face parts converge over real data supplied by the image of the face.
