Method and system for simulating superimposition of a non-linearly stretchable object upon a base object using representative images

A communication device for creating and displaying an object image superimposed onto a base image in a display screen, the communication device comprising:

• a code scanner module for scanning an encoded indicium associated with the object image;
• a base image database having the base image, the base image including a plurality of base image critical points;
• a coordinate transformation module for re-mapping the object image via global transformation of coordinates associated with a plurality of object image critical points, the object image critical points respectively corresponding to the base image critical points, the image transformation consisting of:
• (i) performing a regional two-dimensional linear re-mapping based on a first set of object image critical points, said region comprised of a pre-defined mask object region, said pre-defined mask object region corresponding to the plurality of base image critical points;
• and
• (ii) performing a plurality of local vector-based non-linear image transformations based on a pair of coordinates defining a vector obtained from a second set of object image critical points and the plurality of base image critical points;
• such that the re-mapped object image critical points coincide with the respective base image critical points, the object image being accessed and uploaded via a universal resource locator (URL) associated therewith;
• and
• a superimposition module for superimposing the re-mapped object image onto the base image for display at the display screen.
