How Virtual Try-On AI Actually Works (Pipeline)
Sequence of image-processing tasks chained together.
See how it works
Real example: same person, before and after.
1. Your photo
2. The item
3. Your result
1. Body landmark detection — 17-33 keypoints (shoulders, elbows, hips) create a "skeleton" 2. Garment segmentation — reference garment isolated from background, silhouette + color + texture identified 3. Pose-matching — garment "warped" to fit YOUR body's pose 4. Lighting and shadow synthesis — garment reflects YOUR photo's light 5. Identity preservation — face, hair, body, background unchanged
What can go wrong
• Garment partially occluded → AI guesses • Extreme poses → harder to fit • Very low-res photos → less precise
