Could you train a model on the reverse and make a background less image out of a normal picture?

I'm think if you created an app where people can let friends or others try on cloths from their closet.

Also, Wondering about a shopify plug in?

Also, can you just take clothing images from amazon other merchants use an affiliate program to sell from a virtual try on app.

What's the smallest merchant you work with?



Do you mean background matting that removes the background of an image? Perhaps something like this https://github.com/senguptaumd/Background-Matting

Yes! We definitely want to allow people to try on clothes from their closet. This will involve digitizing your own closet which is something we are working on to make it easy for everybody.

For shopify, we have plans on releasing that in the near future. We do have an app on IOS https://apps.apple.com/us/app/style-space/id1535818149 that pulls garments from different websites for you to visualize different looks.

Right now we are working with platforms with larger SKUs. We will support smaller merchants with our shopify plugin.


I also meant the clothes aren't flat and wrapped around the person. My thought was they could be unwrapped to show a flat version.

I'm saying that you currently take a flat without background picture of a piece of clothing add a model and get a piece of clothing that is made to fit the person.

What if you swapped your output image as your input image and trained a model on the reverse of your output and input.

new model current output image -> current input image

now instead of needed a perfectly flat no background image as input you can take a messier image and convert it into a flat no background image to be used by your current algo.
