Methods for extracting objects from digital images and for performing color change on the object

A computer implemented method for operating a system having a monitor, a camera, a memory, and a processor, so as to display a mirror-mimicking image on the monitor to enable a user to try a clothing item, comprising a program for execution by the processor, the program including instructions for:

• at each clothing item try session performing the steps:
• obtaining digital images of a live video feed of length of N seconds from the camera;
• flipping the images about a vertical axis so as to reverse right and left sides of the image;
• applying a transformation mapping to the images to modify the images such that they appear to mimic a reflection of a mirror, to thereby obtain transformed images;
• saving the transformed images in the memory;
• displaying the transformed images on the monitor to thereby replay the video feed of N seconds using the transformed images;
• wherein the length of N seconds is configured to be enough time to allow the user to get a good impression on the way the clothing item looks.
