3-D scanning system for a body or body part3-D scanning system for a body or body part
The invention relates to a 3-D scanning system for a body or body part, comprising multiple sensors wherein each of the sensors is equipped to scan at least a part of the body or body part, and wherein the sensors connect to a processor for converting the sensory information into a 3-D model of the body or body part.The invention relates to a 3-D scanning system for a body or body part, including multiple sensors each of the sensors is equipped to scan at least a part of the body or body part, and the sensors connect to a processor for converting the sensory information into a 3-D model or the body or body part.
Such a 3-D scanning system is known from WO2016/180957. In this known 3-D scanning system a number of segmented sub scans is combined into a complete rough 3-D body model. Overlapping sub scans are for instance fitted into the 3-D body model by a squared fitting process or using other types of interpolation. The scans are executed while the body or body part is rotating, and wherein the sensors assume a fixed position. This system is used for apparel size determination, but is evidently unsuited in applications wherein rotation of the body or body part is not an option. Another disadvantage is that rotating the body or body part, scanning, and processing the scanning results is timeconsuming particularly due to the required rotation of the body or body part.Such a 3-D scanning system is known from WO2016 / 180957.
