  • 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: 6674549
    Abstract: Apparatus for acquiring an image utilizing serial transmission between the analog-to-digital converting means and the processing means (ASIC) is disclosed herein. The image acquiring system according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes the following devices. The image sensor converts an image to an electrical signal responding to a trigger signal. An amplifier amplifies the power of the electrical signal mentioned above, and the amplified electrical signal is of the analog format. The A/D converting device converts the amplified electrical signal from the analog format to the digital format responding to a reference voltage, wherein the A/D converting device outputs the digitized electrical signal in series. The processing device stores the digitized electrical signal in a memory, wherein the trigger signal is generated by the processing device responding to the digitized electrical signal.

  • Patent number: 4370648
    Abstract: A synchronizing circuit for use with a digital communication system is disclosed. A serial data stream is arranged in frames composed of at least two data words containing a synchronization signalling code and binary coded information, respectively. For detecting the alignment of consecutive frames the synchronizing circuit includes a serial/parallel converter and a synchronizing detector logic network for generating two control signals indicating the presence of the synchronization code in form of a normal synchronizing bit pattern or an inverted synchronizing bit pattern respectively. An AND-gate logically links the first control signal delayed by one pulse frame to the undelayed second control signal and generates a synchronizing signal. A time slot generator produces enabling signals by means of counting subsequent system clock pulses under control of this synchronizing signal such that during receiving of different data words of a frame a respective one of the enabling signals is present.
