Publisher's Synopsis
A computer-implemented method executes instructions for receiving or retrieving image files. A first image file corresponds to both a scaling article image having one or more known dimension(s) and to a target article image submitted by a consumer or a vendor. Contours are determined for each article image to obtain one or more pixel dimension(s) for each article image. The pixel dimension(s) for the scaling article image are related to its known dimension(s) to obtain scaled pixel dimensions for the target article image. A consumer profile is generated which includes at least one of a set of curves that represent the determined contours and a set of control points, measure lines and control lines to represent the measurement of the reference article. Access to the profile facilitates creation of new articles for the consumer and/or assessment of how an article having a similarly derived profile will fit.
