SKELETON SPECIFYING SYSTEM, SKELETON SPECIFYING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

[Problem] To make it possible, without the use of an x-ray or MRI, to verify the state of the skeleton of a human body with results of three-dimensional measurement. [Solution] From multiple points on the human body surface obtained by a three-dimensional measurement, points are specified that are used as three-dimensional coordinate values of skeleton points corresponding to a specific skeleton locations of the body, and three-dimensional coordinate values of each skeleton point are calculated from the three-dimensional coordinate values of the specified points. Further, a skeleton model, in which target points are embedded in advance, is deformed on the basis of the skeleton points, and the positions of the skeleton locations, where the target points of the skeleton model are embedded, are specified with the three-dimensional coordinate values of the target points on the deformed skeleton model. This makes it possible to verify the state of the skeleton from positions of the identified skeleton locations.
