US 11,080,912 B2 · System and method for digital markups of custom products

Abstract

Techniques for generating and using digital markups on digital images are presented. In an embodiment, a method comprises receiving, at an electronic device, a digital layout image that represents a form of a product for manufacturing a reference product; generating a digital markup layout by overlaying the digital markup image over the digital layout image; based on the digital markup layout, generating one or more manufacturing files comprising digital data for manufacturing the reference product; receiving a digital reference image of the reference product manufactured based on the one or more manufacturing files; identifying one or more found markup regions in the digital reference image; based on the found markup regions, generating a geometry map and an interactive asset image; based on, at least in part, the geometry map, generating a customized product image by applying a user pattern to the interactive asset image.

Dependent claims

A computer implemented method comprising:

receiving, at an electronic device, a digital reference image of a reference product that has been manufactured based on, at least in part, one or more manufacturing files;
based on color characteristics identified for the digital reference image, partitioning the digital reference image into a plurality of image regions by:
assigning a color difference value to each location of a plurality of locations within the digital reference image;
assigning each location of the plurality of locations to an image region of the plurality of image regions according to a particular order;
wherein the particular order is based at least in part on color difference values associated with the plurality of locations;
selecting a particular image region to be assigned to a location based on, at least in part, a color assigned to the location;
based on the partitioning, determining data representing a digital markup image within the digital reference image;
assigning a markup identifier to the digital markup image identified in the digital reference image.

assigning each location of the plurality of locations to an image region of the plurality of image regions according to a particular order;
wherein the particular order is based at least in part on color difference values associated with the plurality of locations;
selecting a particular image region to be assigned to a location based on, at least in part, a color assigned to the location;
based on the partitioning, determining data representing a digital markup image within the digital reference image;
assigning a markup identifier to the digital markup image identified in the digital reference image.
