  • Publication number: 20240119681
    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.

  • Patent number: 10349695
    Abstract: An illuminable helmet assembly is disclosed. The helmet assembly may include a helmet body having an outer shell, an energy management layer and a fit system. A light diffuser is coupled to an outer surface of the helmet body, the diffuser having an illumination surface with an outer perimeter and defining a footprint of the illumination surface extending inward from the illumination surface to a center of the helmet body. A light source is positioned adjacent to and in some cases outside of the outer perimeter and the footprint of the illumination surface. The light source is positioned to emit light toward the illumination surface at an acute angle to the illumination surface.
