I Project Description
1. Project Overview
The FitFinder project is an innovative smart wardrobe assistant application that leverages
computer vision and machine learning technologies to facilitate enhanced fashion decision-
making for users, tailored to their unique physical attributes and existing wardrobe. By
meticulously analyzing users' skin tones, body shapes, and proportions, FitFinder provides
personalized outfit recommendations that align with individual body types and complexions.
This application distinguishes itself by merging AI-driven styling intelligence with a
sustainable monetization framework for fashion brands, delivering a dual advantage—an
improved user experience alongside a scalable commercial model.

The application enables users to upload images of themselves as well as their clothing items.
Utilizing sophisticated image processing techniques, it extracts essential visual
characteristics, including color, pattern, and fit. Two specific machine learning models are
employed: one to predict the user's body type (e.g., slim, fit, muscular) and the other to
identify their skin tone (e.g., fair, medium, dark). Based on these insights, FitFinder curates
outfit combinations designed to elevate the user's style across various occasions, from formal
meetings to casual gatherings.

This project encompasses both frontend design (user interface development) and backend
