image, said interior perimeter of said selected hair image
including a first plurality of feature points distributed
along said interior perimeter of said hair image, wherein a
subset of said first plurality of feature points are disposed
at locations at which said hair image is intended to abut, but
not substantially overlap said facial image;
means for determining a second plurality of feature
points within said facial perimeter and distributed along said
facial perimeter, wherein each of said second plurality of
feature points corresponds to a respective one of said subset
of said first plurality of feature points distributed along
said interior perimeter of said hair image;
means for constructing one or more facial perimeter
vectors by connecting neighboring feature points among said
second plurality of feature points distributed along said
facial perimeter;
means for constructing one or more hair perimeter vectors
by connecting neighboring feature points within said subset of
said first plurality of feature points distributed along said
interior perimeter of said hair image;
means for automatically transforming said hair image by
displaying each of a plurality of pixels within said hair
image at a transformed location, wherein a transformed
location of each of said plurality of pixels within said hair
image has a position with respect to said one or more facial
perimeter vectors determined from an original position of said
pixel with respect to said one or more hair perimeter vectors;
and
means, responsive to said transformation of said hair
image, for displaying said transformed hair image superimposed
on said facial image within said display apparatus, wherein
hair style simulation efficiency is enhanced.
