摘要

A method for facilitating an online selection of an item by a user is described. The item is selected out of a plurality of selection items of different sizes, the selection being based on a reference item located remotely from the plurality of selection items. The method is performed on an electronic system and starts with accessing data related to a first image of the reference item, and at least one known first reference measurement associated with the first image. Data is then accessed related to one or more second images of one or more selection items, and at least one known second reference measurement associated with each of the second images. The data associated with the first and second images is then processed so as to facilitate dimensional comparison of the reference item with at least one of the selection items. Finally, the user is enabled to visually compare at least one dimension of the at least one of the selection items, with a corresponding dimension of the reference item, the result of the comparison enabling the user to select an item out of the plurality of selection items.
