A 3-D Body Imaging and Measurement System for Apparel Customization

摘要

This paper reports the development of an automated, accurate system for 3-D body imaging and measurement. The system consists of a digital camera, a rotary stage, a lighting booth, and the software for 3-D body image analysis. The body dimensions that can be measured using this system include the length of a body surface curve (e.g. apex and crotch), the body circumference at a given height (e.g. bust and waist), and other dimensions useful for apparel pattern design. The paper also presents a multi-view algorithm for depth recovery, and the main procedures for body surface modeling based on the theory of differential geometry.
