A service provider, such as a payment provider, may access 2D images of a pair of eyeglasses, such as images from a front perspective and a side perspective of the eyeglasses. The contours of the eyeglasses may be extracted, such as the contours of the main features (e.g., the bridge, lens aperture, side and ear frame sections, and other important features). The contours may be processed to determine a curve that best fits the features. Additional features may be extracted, such as color, design, writing (e.g., a brand name on the frame), hinges, or other sub-feature of the frame. Utilizing this information, a 3D model of the pair of eyeglasses may be constructed by scaling the size of the lens curves, bridge, and/or arms and applying a texture. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system, comprising: at least one processor; and a memory coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform a method, comprising: accessing at least two two-dimensional (2D) images of a pair of eyeglasses; extracting a first contour of the pair of eyeglasses from a first image of the at least two 2D images and a second contour of the pair of eyeglasses from a second image of the at least two 2D images, wherein the first contour and the second contour define shape features of the pair of eyeglasses; determining, based at least in part, on a meeting place between the first contour and the second contour, locations for hinges of the pair of eyeglasses; determining, using at least one of the two 2D images, one or more visual features of the pair of eyeglasses; generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of the pair of eyeglasses using the first contour, the second contour, the visual features, the shape features and the determined location of the hinges, the 3D model including one or more arms extending from the determined location of the hinges; and providing the generated 3D model of the pair of eyeglasses on a user interface of a display device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the contours are extracted using Canny edge detection. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, further comprising instructions for: creating a texture file using the determined visual features of the pair of eyeglasses; and using the texture file in the 3D model. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The system of claim 3, wherein the texture file includes additional information of the pair of eyeglasses. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The system of claim 4, wherein the additional information comprises at least one of a material of the pair of eyeglasses, brand information of the pair of eyeglasses, weight of the pair of eyeglasses, and lens information for the pair of eyeglasses. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the visual features comprises one or more of color, surface quality, surface properties, logos, shading, and lens. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein first contour at least one of the first contour and the second contour define curves of a lenses frame. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, further comprising instructions for generating at least one of a front and lenses of the pair of eyeglasses using at least one of the first contour and the second contour. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, further comprising instructions for cleaning up at least one of the first contour and the second contour to extract a best curve. ### Claim 10 A method, comprising: receiving, at least two two-dimensional (2D) images of a pair of eyeglasses, wherein the pair of eyeglasses is offered for sale by a merchant; extracting a first set of contours of the pair of eyeglasses from a first image of the at least two 2D images and a second set of contours of the pair of eyeglasses from a second image of the at least two 2D images, wherein the first set of contours and the second set of contours define a plurality of shape features of the pair of eyeglasses; determining, based at least in part, on a meeting place between the first set of contours and the second set of contours, locations for hinges of the pair of eyeglasses using the contours; determining, using at least one of the two 2D images, one or more visual features of the pair of eyeglasses; generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of the pair of eyeglasses using the first set of contours, the second set of contours, the visual features and the determined location of the hinges, the 3D model including one or more arms extending from the determined location of the hinges;
