In this embodiment, the circular dot 110 is printed on the garment 100, so that the size and the length of the dot marker change when the garment 100 is stretched as the body size changes. This length change value can be measured by measuring the ratio of the previous value and the changed value in the smart phone application to be described later to measure the body dimensions.

The smart phone 200 acquires a plurality of images by continuously photographing the wearer's clothing from the front while rotating the wearer 360 ° in place while the wearer is wearing the garment, and recognizes the distance between dots for each of the circles The body size of the wearer is measured based on the diameter of the dot. The smartphone 200 detects a body contour for each image, converts the detected body contour and the plurality of images in the form of 2D measurement data into stereoscopic 3D data, and generates a 3D avatar.

The smart phone 200 includes a camera module 210, an input unit 220, a body measurement application 230, a control unit 240, and a guide unit 250.

The camera module 210 acquires a plurality of images by continuously photographing the wearer's clothing from the front while rotating the wearer 360 ° in place while wearing the clothing. The camera module captures and acquires at least one image every 30 °.

The camera module 210 may deliver this information to a smartphone application. After wearing the wearing part in the camera portion of the smartphone, open the arms and legs by rotating the 360 ° in a posture where each marker can be recognized to shoot the whole body to enable 3D measurement. The smartphone application portion calculates the length value so that the wearer can recognize the body size in real time.

Depending on the distance from the smartphone camera module 210, the circular dot 110 printed on the body measurement garment 100 may appear large or small. The dot 110 of the garment 100 for the body measurement is accurately positioned on the guide so that the distance is recognizable so that the image 110 can be taken. The camera module 210 may be configured to generate a plurality of images by continuously photographing the user from the front while the user rotates 360 ° in place. In this way, a plurality of images generated by rotating 360 ° are analyzed. The actual length is calculated using the magnification information of the image based on the user's key information. The length and circumference of the body part that changes according to the angle may be calculated through magnification information. The 360 ° photographing of the smartphone camera module 210 is configured to photograph for measurement of the circumference rather than the length, and may be configured to photograph at least one cut every 30 °. For the measurement of length it may be possible with an image of one cut.

The input unit 220 receives a command from the wearer and generates a body size measurement signal.

The body measurement application 230 recognizes the distance between dots of the garment image from the camera module and calculates a body size of the wearer based on the diameter of the circular dot 110. Different body markers (patterns) in the circular dot 110 allow the body measurement application 230 to recognize the body position.

In the part of the body measurement application 230, the body size of each part generally derives the size at the ergonomic position by calculating the distance and the three-dimensional distance of the marker included in the expected position relative to the height. In that embodiment, the measurement of the waist circumference is calculated by the following procedure. In the present invention, based on the basic information about the height in the body measurement application 230, it is possible to divide and recognize the necessary body parts, such as waist, leg, arm, neck. By recognizing a plurality of markers in the waist region, information about the distance between the marks and the like is collected to derive the body size. The body metrology application 230 may be configured to determine a width length of a predetermined body part that changes according to a photographing angle in a plurality of images generated by the camera module 210. For example, when the user rotates in place, the width length of the waist portion in the front image and the width length of the waist portion in the side image may be determined.

The body measurement application 230 calculates the distance between the predetermined dot points in the image photographed by the camera module 210 by using the input height value of the user and the size (length) value of the circular dot 110. Can be configured. In addition, the size of the dots printed with a constant size is a reference, and by using the ratio of the distance between the printed dots 110 changed due to the stretchable material, it is possible to measure the size that appears different depending on the shooting distance or the shooting direction or angle. do. The size of the dot does not change even when worn. The input height (key) and the actual size of the dot will act as the scale of the map in the image. This is because it is not easy to set and maintain the shooting direction of the smartphone to the front exactly, it can present a concept that can automatically correct the measurement length without maintaining the front exactly.

Since the smart phone 200 will be fixed at a specific position, it is preferable that the smart phone 200 is configured to determine a shooting position while directly moving while watching the image of the touch screen.

The calculated body measurement data can be used to build a DB (not shown) of the user's body dimensions, thereby facilitating the reflection of the dimensions required by the actual customer. In addition, it is also possible to provide a virtual wear service using the body measurement data calculated later. By providing a DB of digital apparel patterns (not shown), a model image created based on the body size measured in the application can virtually fit the clothing image. Various information about the clothes can be provided by adjusting the position and angle of the model and the clothes. You can layer multiple items and see if they match your items. The user may provide the purchase information for the item that is virtually fit and provide the service so that the user can immediately purchase the item.

The control unit 240 generates a control signal for guiding the wearer to the wearer according to the body measurement signal, and controls the operation of the camera module 210 and the body measurement application 230.

The guide unit 250 outputs a garment wearing guide to the wearer according to the control signal. The guide unit 250 includes a speaker 256 for outputting a guide to wear clothing according to the control signal as an audio signal; And a display 252 for outputting a garment wearing guide message on the screen according to the control signal. In the smartphone application, the screen and the speaker 256 guide the posture so that the proper position (center of the kidney) and the distance of the smartphone camera module 210 and the user's entire body are photographed. Accordingly, if the length or shape of the image is not the same as the control module desired in the process of rotating and photographing in the application, the user may directly turn the camera toward the camera or adjust the distance from the camera. It may be configured to guide through the display 252 and the speaker 256.

In the present embodiment, the smart phone application includes all smart devices such as computers in addition to the general smart phone. In the body measurement application, the basic information of the user's height and gender is input. Through the key information, the actual body size can be calculated from the ratio of the gap length information between the key and the dot of the body measurement garment. This is because it can function as the scale of the map based on the height information of the user. And such basic information input allows a plurality of users in one smart phone 200 and applications can be used together.

Meanwhile, the body contour is detected for each image according to the angle. The dots are linked and separated for each body part according to the body outline and the dot-in-mark of the body measurement garment. The 2D measurement data, which is the actual value of the link for each body part appearing in one cut image, is calculated using the image magnification information. Body size is calculated by reconstructing the body of the subject by recombining link-specific 2D measurement data appearing in a plurality of cuts. In addition, the body contour for each angle and the 2D measurement data appearing in each image may be combined to be converted into three-dimensional 3D data and a 3D avatar may also be generated.
