ABSTRACT
A Virtual Dressing Room for Low-End Smartphones is
presented here. The proposed system uses Euclidean distance
measurement algorithm. It involves capturing image of the
subject or the person who wishes to try out the apparel.
Systems similar to this have are in use in the West. They
involve the use of Augmented Reality. They are available in
for countries like US, UK, France, etc. But considering the
PPP, GDP, etc. pricing factors of India, it is more expensive to
deploy similar systems here. Hence to overcome this problem
we came up with the solution that will enable everyone who
owns at least a smartphone to benefit from the system. Basic
idea is user will take their own photograph. Give the
measurement of the reference object and place the points on
their shoulder/height in image taken by smart phone camera.
Our system will calculate the appropriate length and suggest
garments accordingly which the users want to try out. Users
can place an order at the same time via the following system.

1. INTRODUCTION
After studying the number of different systems being used
commercially, or being developed, a conclusion was drawn
that these systems may not reach the mass soon. The systems
can be studied further in the paper[1]. Developing a system
which will work on most smart-phones(low-end or high-end)
was the main motto of the group of researchers. Developing
an Algorithm to get the size of a customer was the main
problem. It was solved by implementing a Distance
Measurement Algorithm which required the use of a Standard
object whose length is known. The system includes an
Android app , and a Website where the apparels are listed.
2. METHOD
Many of the commercially used systems currently make a lot
of use of the Kinect Sensor or similar special kind of
specialized hardware. The hardware takes the cost of the
system up and therefore makes it difficult to reach to the
masses. All the hardware that the proposed system requires is
a smart-phone, preferably Android based smart-phone.
Various methods like use of triangulation or using a Stereo
Vision Shape Detection have been already implemented to
measure the distance between two objects in a 2D-image. Our
proposed method involves the use of Euclidean Distance
measurement formula and a few Java functions. The
Algorithm requires a reference length, which for simplicity
would be an object whose length is standard like credit/debit

card. The architecture of the system will be as shown in Fig1.
The system is hosted on Cloud. Digital Ocean was used for
the trial implementation of the system.
2.1 Distance Measurement
Algorithm
The Algorithm used Euclidean Distance formula.
d= √(x 1− x 2) +( y 1− y 2)
2 2 2
This formula will help calculate the distance between two
points. This will be done for both the reference length and the
length we will require to recommend the size of apparel the
user will require. A unit is taken from the user so that the
calculated measurements can be used in the desired units.
The calculated length is found in DPI. It needs to be converted
into the required unit of length
Reference× Calculated Length
x=
Scale
This length will now help us to understand what size of
clothing will fit the user. This eliminates the need of brand
sizes, since each brand labels their sizes differently.
3. Architecture of System
The architecture will be as shown in fig (1). The different
technologies being used are Android, SSL, phpMyAdmin,
Let’s Encrypt, MySQL, Cloud(Digital Ocean). As already
mentioned the whole system will be hosted on Cloud. For the
project a Website where all the products can be seen and
cataloged. Although it will not be providing the trial facility.
With increase in inventory, the DBMS being used may
required to be changed, as of now MySQL should be
sufficient.
In 2016, Google released a statement saying that every
website that requires a login, must have a SSL certificate,
otherwise the search engine will flag it as Dangerous in the
search results. SSL is a standard security protocol for
establishing encrypted links between a web server and a
browser in an Online communication. And since the system is
going to require Credit/Debit card details for purchasing,
using SSL was mandatory.
The certifying authority used for this particular system is Lets
Encrypt. It is an automated, free, and open certificate
authority by the Internet Security Research Group(ISRG).
The system is planned to be designed as an Android
Application. phpMyAdmin is a free software tool which is
used to handle administration of MySQL over the web. It
supports a variety of operations on MySQL. Frequently used

operations can be performed using the user interface, while
also being able to execute SQL statements.
As shown in the figure, the system can be accessed using the
Website or the android application. All the communications
are encrypted, LAMP i.e Linux Apache MySQL PHP is
deployed on the cloud. Ubuntu 14.0.4 is version being
currently used. The admin can access the system using SSH.
4. Proposed System.
The design of the system is descried in this section. The
system requires a minimum 2G internet connection on the
user’s smartphone. The android app developed will show the
different kinds of apparel categories that are to be sold. After
selecting one of the categories. After selecting the category,
the user then has to click a picture of themselves using the
device camera(it is recommended that Open Camera be
used.). The user must stand straight, and they should have an
object in the vicinity(it should also be in picture), whose
length is known. When the picture is clicked, a new window
will be open, here the user will have to select points such that
they represent the length. First select the reference object,
then select your height. Most for a few apparels the length of
the torso maybe required instead of the height, like for
example if the apparel is a tunic or a shirt. After selecting the
points as required, the reference length and the unit needs to
be specified. Along with these, the unit in which the
calculated length is expected is also to be specified. When
these are done, the length will be calculated as per the above

mentioned formulae. When that is done a pop shows the
calculated length, and the the user will be redirected to a page
which lists apparels as per the calculated length. If not apparel
is available, the toast pops up notifying that apparels are not
available in this size and lists the available apparels. When the
user selects a particular apparel which she wants to try out,
they have open it up, the apparel image will be downloaded
on her phone. She then has to tap on the home button which is
present on the screen, and the apparel will be displayed on the
previously taken picture. The user can adjust the apparel in a
better way as per their liking using the zoom in, zoom out,
rotate options made available on the screen. If she like it, she
can buy the product then and there. A “buy product” option is
made available.
5. Advantages
This system will be beneficial to sellers very much, since it
will reduce the cost of return that they have bear. Also since it
being designed specially for low end devices, it can penetrate
to the lower rungs of the society easily, tapping that market as
well. The system is accurate enough. But it can be made more
accurate if the algorithm can be worked upon further. This
idea can be implemented in various fields of the consumer
market. Algorithms have been able to calculate the distance
between the object and the capturing device, and this too
requires multiple cameras, doing the same with a single
camera is difficult. The application being created doesn't
require too many resources and therefore is an light
application.
