  • Patent number: 12086871
    Abstract: Digital imaging systems and methods are disclosed for detecting user-specific apparel fit. Digital image(s) of a user are obtained that depict one or more portions of the user's body. Apparel fit information is obtained specific to the user. An apparel fit application (app) determines user-specific measurements of one or more portions of the user's body based on the digital image(s). The apparel fit app determines a user-specific fit-based confidence interval for the user based on the user-specific measurements and the apparel fit information. A fit based identification of an apparel item is generated that corresponds to the user-specific fit-based confidence interval.
