Virtual Ornament Room Using Haar Cascade Algorithm During Pandemic

ABSTRACT

Generally, purchaser wishes to attempt all jewels on them and share those photos on social media to get a recommendation. But now, in the present situation, all are avoiding touching activities unnecessarily. It is not so safe due to COVID-19. So without stopping purchaser jewellery attempts, a solution is provided by using an application called virtual ornament room. The proposed scheme is based on creating a Web application that identifies where the human face is located in the frame and superimposes the chosen jewellery on the face using the HAAR Cascade Algorithm. By using the concepts of augmented reality, the digital objects are estimated and placed onto the frame in real time. The system is implemented by using Flask framework and OpenCV, a Python module. This application works with an attached camera, Internet, and a Web browser. From the results, it can be seen all the jewellery can be easily selected by the customers from their home itself during the pandemic situation. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
