US 2019/0155060 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROVIDING CUSTOM-FITTED AND STYLED EYEWEAR BASED ON USER-PROVIDED IMAGES AND PREFERENCES

Abstract

The invention relates to systems and methods for providing custom-fitted and styled wearable items such as eyewear based on measurements made from a user-provided image that is resized using a predefined reference that includes an image of an actual wearable item. The eyewear may be provided to a user, who wears the eyewear and provides an image of the user wearing the eyewear. The user-provided images may be compared to a predefined reference (e.g., an image of the eyewear) having a known scale and/or dimension. For example, a user-provided image may be overlaid with the predefined reference and resized so that the wearable item worn by the user in the user-provided image matches (the size of) the wearable item in the predefined reference. Because the scale and/or dimensions of the predefined reference are known, one or more measurements associated with the user may be made based on the user-provided image.

Dependent claims

1-20. (canceled)

A method, comprising:

obtaining, with a computing system, a user-supplied image depicting a user wearing eyewear;
detecting, with the computing system, a first location of a first feature of the eyewear in the user-supplied image;
detecting, with the computing system, a second location of a second feature of the eyewear in the user-supplied image;
detecting, with the computing system, a third location of an anatomical feature of the user in the user-supplied image;
determining, with the computing system, a first distance in the user-supplied image between the anatomical feature and another feature depicted in the user-supplied image;
determining, with the computing system, a second distance in the user-supplied image between the first location and the second location;
obtaining, with the computing system, a third distance in physical space between the first feature and the second feature on a physical instance of the eyewear;
determining, with the computing system, a scaling value between the user-supplied image and physical space based on a ratio of the second distance and the third distance;
determining, with the computing system, a fourth distance in physical space to the anatomical feature, wherein:
the fourth distance corresponds to the first distance in the user-supplied image, and
the fourth distance is based on the scaling value and the first distance in the user supplied image;
and
causing, with the computing system, prescription lenses to be made for the user based on the fourth distance.
