Method for replacing objects in images

A machine readable medium having stored therein a plurality of programming instructions, which when execute, the instructions cause the machine to:

• obtaining a first image having a first object, the first image being two-dimensional, the first object having a plurality of feature portions;
• generating first image reference points on the first object from the plurality of feature portions of the first object;
• extracting object properties of the first object from the first image, the object properties comprising object orientation and dimension of the first object;
• providing a three-dimensional model being representative of a second image object;
• the three-dimensional model having model control points thereon;
• at least one of manipulating and displacing the three-dimensional model based on the object properties of the first object;
• capturing a synthesized image containing a synthesized object from the at least one of manipulated and displaced three-dimensional model, the synthesized object having second image reference points derived from the model control points, the second image reference points being associated with a plurality of image portions of the synthesized object;
• and
• registering the second image reference points to the first image reference points for subsequent replacement of the first object in the first image with the synthesized object.
