A system for generating bodily measurements of a user appearing in video stream. The accuracy of the measurement is enhanced by performing a calibration to obtain a length per pixel coefficient and performing registration of an avatar of the user to a graphical target to position the user at the proper orientation. The calibration may be obtained by using measurement of the iris of the user. The registration may be obtained generating a three-dimensional spheroid corresponding to the head of the user and moving the spheroid in correspondence to motion of the head of the user.

A computer implemented method for automatic presentation of delayed video. During normal operation real-time video feed is sent to a digital screen for presentation and is also sent to memory for storage. When a delay trigger is issued, the system either freezes the frame presented in that instance or stores a time indicator. The system then monitors delay time and, when the delay time is reached, the system starts fetching frames from the memory, starting either from the frame immediately following the frozen frame or from the frame that was stored at the time indicator, and sends these frames to the digital screen for presentation. The system then monitors delay period and, when the delay period arrive, the system revers to normal mode wherein real-time video feed is sent to a digital screen for presentation and is also sent to memory for storage.

Computerized method for distortion transformation simulating looking into reflective mirror, including the steps: obtaining a digital image from the camera; flipping the image about a vertical axis so as to reverse right and left sides of the image; applying a transformation mapping to the image to modify the image such that it appears to mimic a reflection of a mirror; resizing the image to reduce variations caused by changes in the object's distance to the camera; and displaying the image on the monitor after performing the flipping, transformation mapping, and resizing. Also, method for capturing an image or video from a camera; identifying an element from the image or video; selecting the identified element; rendering an original model of the selected element; selecting a new appearance for the selected element; and rendering a new model based on the original model and the selected new appearance for the element.
Computerized method for image transformation, augmented reality and telepresence. A camera generates a stream of images of the user; a processor detects the presence of the user in the stream of images and applies adaptive transformation mapping to the stream of images captured by the camera to generate modified images that appear to be captured from a different point of view of the camera's actual point of view. The modified images are displayed on a local and/or remote monitor for telepresence. The processor can also generate an avatar having body characteristics corresponding to body characteristics of a user appearing in the images. The processor may generate the avatar by analyzing registration pointers on the images of the camera. The processor may reside in the remote location, and the camera images transmitted over a network to the processor, and the modified images transmitted back from the processor to the monitor.
Computerized method for simulating looking into reflective mirror by operating the system in an idle mode and when presence of a user is detected in a field of view of the camera, switching the system to virtual mirror mode wherein the system performs the steps comprising: transforming the images captured by the camera to generate mirror images; storing the mirror images; displaying the mirror images on the monitor; and, determining whether the user has an existing account and, if so, opening the user account and displaying thumbnails corresponding to the user account on the monitor; if the user has no existing account, setting a temporary account and so long as the user is still in front of the monitor, enabling the user to control the temporary account; and, once the user exits the field of view, returning the system to idle mode.

Methods for extracting objects from digital images and for performing color change on the object
Computerized method for separating an object in a digital image and for performing color change on an object within a digital image. The steps include: obtaining a digital image; receiving a selection of an object within the digital image; selecting a plurality of representative pixels estimated to be within the object; calculating a representative color from the plurality of representative pixels; selecting pixels of the digital image and for each pixel calculating a Euclidian distance to the representative color and, if the Euclidian distance is within a set threshold, identifying the pixel as belonging to the object. For color change, the steps include: generating a plurality of masks, each mask storing different property values of the collection of pixels; selecting a new color; applying the plurality of masks to the new color to generate new image of the object.
