Photogrammetric Technique for Accurate Human Body 3D Model Reconstruction

Precise measurements of human body surface geometric parameters are very important for wide variety of applications such as medicine, identification, garment design and manufacturing etc. In most cases it is more convenient not to get measurements from a real subject but using his accurate 3D model. A photogrammetric technique for accurate human body 3D reconstruction is proposed. The hardware of the developed system includes a set of CCD cameras, frame grabber, structural light projector. Original software for Windows XP allows to scan surface of human body, to generate textured 3D model and to perform given measurement procedures. Produced 3D models have real scale and photorealistic texture providing reliable data for processing.
