Abstract
The invention provides, among other things, methods and systems for creating a customized colorable image of a user. An exemplary method may include receiving an indication of a selected colorable background. The method may further include capturing a real-time image of the user, where the user is adjacent to a predetermined background. An image of the predetermined background may be filtered out of the real-time image of the user to generate a filtered real-time image of the user. Then, the filtered real-time image of the user against the selected colorable background may be presented.
Claims20
A method for providing a customized, colorable image of a user, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication of a selected colorable background;
- capturing a real-time image of the user, the user adjacent to a predetermined background;
- filtering an image of the predetermined background out of the real-time image of the user to generate a filtered real-time image of the user;
- and
- presenting the filtered real-time image of the user against the selected colorable background.
An interactive system for creating a customized, colorable image of a user, the system comprising:
- a camera component for capturing a real-time image of the user positioned in association with a predetermined background;
- an image adjustment component for generating a real-time colorable image of the user;
- a colorable background component for providing a colorable background;
- and
- a presentation component for presenting the real-time colorable image of the user against the colorable background.
A method for providing a customized, colorable image of a user, the method comprising:
- receiving a selection of a colorable background based on a first user input;
- capturing a real-time image of the user positioned adjacent to a green screen;
- filtering the green screen out of the real-time image of the user to provide a filtered image of the user;
- based on the filtered image of the user, generating a real-time colorable image of the user;
- based on the real-time colorable image of the user and the received selection of the colorable background, presenting, in real time, an altered image corresponding to a mirror image of the real-time colorable image of the user against the selected colorable background;
- receiving a second user input indicating a command to capture a static colorable image of the user against the selected colorable background;
- capturing the static colorable image of the user against the selected colorable background;
- presenting the static colorable image of the user against the selected colorable background, the static colorable image corresponding directly the real-time colorable image of the user against the selected colorable background;
- and
- in response to a third user input, automatically printing the static colorable image.
