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.

Birds-eye view ray scan system for flatbed autostereoscopic displays

We have proposed a flatbed autostereoscopic display using the one-dimensional (1-D) integral imaging (II) method [Hirayama 2006]. 1-D cylindrical lens array (lenticular sheet) is used in the 1D-II display, making it possible to observe a three-dimensional (3-D) image with the horizontal parallax ray. The flatbed autostereoscopic display system brought about a more effective stereoscopic experience than the conventional upright display. In the flatbed display configuration, observers perceive displayed objects as if they exist on a table, because it has real depth matching with a horizontal plane and uses birds-eye view configuration.
