Resolution independent rendering of deformable vector objects using graphics hardware

Resolution independent rendering is important for many applications such as text rendering and rendering vector images. This area has received quite some interest in recent years due to the growing popularity of Flash and SVG-based applications. This sketch presents a new method for resolution independent rendering of vector images suitable for programmable graphics hardware. We have enhanced a previous method [Loop and Blinn 2005] by using a stencil buffer and transparency multisampling [ATI 2005; NVI 2004], so that our method has the following advantages:

Virtual Fitting by Single-Shot Body Shape Estimation

We propose a novel virtual fitting system for seamlessly adjusting 2D clothing images to users by inferring their 3D body shape models from single-shot depth images. To increase fitting accuracy between virtual clothes and the body of the user, the system transforms and overlays the clothing image onto the body image in real time. Observations indicate that the system attains high fitting accuracy when overlaying clothing images captured from a person with a body shape similar to that of the user. We therefore develop a method for rapidly acquiring body shape models and selecting suitable clothing images based on shape similarity. We show a number of fitting results, and evaluate the fitting accuracy of both our method and an existing method without the consideration of the body shape.
