Virtual Wardrobe and Fitting Station for Apparel Sales using Real-Time Image Processing

Abstract: The e-Commerce boom has greatly changed the process through which a consumer purchases goods and services. The driving force behind this shift from brick and mortar storesis the sheer convenience of procuring itemsonline. However, consumers are unable to really discern their own appearance in the clothing available from images on a website and are hence hesitant towards such purchases. This paper and its implementationis an attemptto offer a resolution to this issue and provide the consumer with the ability to �visualize� themselveswearing garments as they would in a store mirror. With the use of Computer Vision techniques, it is possible to achieve a real-time implementation of the project.
