Based on this cognition, extensive investigation and discussion were performed on the design and application of virtual exhibition through analysis o fits concept and characteristics, where the people showing great concern in this regard could find a reference.展开更多

It can provide a powerful material substitution function, which is very useful for customization clothing-built. A novel color substitution algorithm and two texture morphing methods are designed to ensure realistic substitution result. To extend it to 3D, we need to do the model reconstruction based on photos. Thus we present an improved method for modeling human body. It deforms a generic model with shape details extracted from pictures to generate a new model. Our method begins with model image generation followed by silhouette extraction and segmentation. Then it builds a mapping between pixels inside every pair of silhouette segments in the model image and in the picture. Our mapping algorithm is based on a slice space representation that conforms to the natural features of human body.展开更多
