Abstract: Disclosed are example embodiments of systems and methods for virtual try-on of articles of clothing. An example method of virtual try-on of articles of clothing includes selecting a garment from a pre-existing database. The method also includes loading a photo of a source model wearing the selected garment. Additionally, the method includes generating a semantic segmentation of the model image. The method also includes extracting the selected garment from the photo of the model. Additionally, the method includes determining a correspondence between a target model and the source model by performing a feature point detection and description of the target model and the source model, and performing feature matching and correspondence validation. The method also includes performing garment warping and alignment of the extracted garment. Additionally, the method includes overlaying and rendering the garment.

Abstract: Di- and trivalent protecting groups for organoboronic acids including phenyl boronic acids, benzoxaboroles and benzoxaborins, which are prepared from precursor compounds of formula I: where: R1 is a methyl, ethyl or a —(CH2)n—OH group, where n is 2 or 3; R2 and R3 are independently methyl or ethyl groups; R4 and R5 are independently halogens or hydrogens; R6 and R7 are independently hydrogens, halogens, or nitro groups; and R8 and R9 are independently hydrogens, halogens or nitro groups or R8 and R9 together with a portion of the naphthalene ring form a 5-member ring, where when R1 is —CH2—CH2—OH then the protecting group is a trivalent protecting group. Also provided are protected organoboronic acids including protected phenyl boronic acids, benzoxaboroles and benzoxaborins. Also provides are methods for conducting reactions employing protected organoboronic acids.
