Abstract

The Virtual Fitting Room (VFR) application presented in this paper is a real-time human friendly interface, which allows trying new clothes using webcams or smartphones. We propose a three stage algorithm: detection and sizing of the user´s body, detection of reference points based on face detection and augmented reality markers, and superimposition of the clothing over the user´s image. The proposed algorithm is implemented as a universal Java applet using OpenCV library functions and it can run in real-time on existing mobile devices.
