Abstract: A method for providing an interface includes acquiring a general interface specification associated with a back-end interface. The method further includes generating, based on the general interface specification and a first mapping, a first front-end interface specification. The method further includes converting, based on the first front-end interface specification, a first front-end request into a first back-end request associated with the back-end interface. The method further includes generating, based on the general interface specification and a second mapping, a second front-end interface specification, the second mapping indicating a relationship between the general interface specification and the second front-end interface specification. Furthermore, the method further includes converting, based on the second front-end interface specification, a second front-end request into a second back-end request associated with the back-end interface.

Abstract: A clothing template is determined from a previously constructed clothing model, associated with a piece of clothing in a plurality of 2D images, and indicates a 3D mesh that includes a plurality of full loops. A plurality of side silhouettes of the piece of clothing is determined based on the plurality of 2D images. A plurality of key point sets is determined based on the plurality of full loops of the clothing template and the plurality of side silhouettes. Each of the plurality of key point sets is determined based on a corresponding one of the plurality of full loops. A plurality of vertices and a plurality of edge loops of the 3D clothing model are determined based on the plurality of key point sets and a plurality of clothing parameters. A plurality of faces of the 3D clothing model is determined based on the determined plurality of vertices.
