  • Method and device for implementing virtual fitting
    Patent number: 10360731
    Abstract: The invention provides methods and devices for implementing virtual fitting utilizing an image capturing device such as a camera on a mobile phone or a computer. The method for implementing virtual fitting of the invention comprises: detecting a face on a captured initial frame, generating an article image at an initial position when the face has been detected, and then superimposing the article image on the initial frame for output, the initial position superimposed on a specific position of the face in the initial frame; detecting a facial posture on the face in the current frame to obtain the facial posture of the current frame; and generating the article image again according to a current position of the article image and the facial posture, making an article posture in the article image be consistent with the facial posture, and then superimposing the article image on the current frame for output.
