Abstract

In this modern civilization, everyone is depended on technology and technological revolution has made our lives easier in every aspect. With the blessings of technologies, shopping is been brought into the clients palm and there is no doubt about the fact that online shopping has replaced the way of traditional shopping for daily goods and clothing. Now a day, everyone enjoys online shopping because it eliminates the hassles of billing queues and most importantly getting stuck in traffic jam which is really time consuming. Online shopping has made peoples works less in many ways like most of the online shopping offers free shipping, cash on delivery and different kinds of discounts. Therefore, online shopping has been accepted widely all over the world. However, there is a small drawback of online shopping which might loses peoples’ attraction on online shopping and that is people cannot try on their desire clothes. Our goal is to build a real time virtual dress up system consists of multiple tasks including extraction of the users’ different body parts from video stream, alignment of models, torso detecting, and resizing input dress images and dress up using Kinect. Extraction of the users’ different body parts allow us to create augmented reality environment by separating the user area from the video stream and imposing it onto the virtual environment in the user interface. We also have used 3D locations for joint positioning, rotating and system so that user can command to open or close the app. By integrating all the techniques, our system will produce prominently credible and well fitted virtual dress up results.
