Abstract
A method for generating a 3D digital model used for creating a hairpiece are disclosed. The method comprises: obtaining a 3D model of a head, the 3D model containing a 3D surface mesh having one single boundary and color information associated with the 3D mesh; mapping the 3D model into a 2D image in such a manner that any continuously connected line on the 3D model is mapped into a continuously connected line in the 2D image, the 2D image containing a 2D mesh with color information applied thereto; displaying the 2D image; identifying a feature in the 2D image based on the color information; and mapping the identified feature back onto the 3D model. A system for generating a 3D digital model used for creating a hairpiece is also provided in another aspect of the present disclosure.
