Method and system for body scanning and display of biometric data

A system for scanning a body to create scan data, comprising:

• a processor;
• a range camera capable of capturing at least a first set of depth images of the body rotated to 0 degrees, and at least a second set of depth images of the body rotated to x degrees, wherein x is >0 degrees, and x <360 degrees, including any clothing worn, the range camera including an infrared camera comprising an infrared light emitter that emits infrared light and at least an infrared sensor that reads reflected infrared light;
• a rotation device capable of rotating the body;
• a first set of computer instructions executable on the processor capable of calculating a first set of three dimensional points from the first set of depth images and a second set of three dimensional points from the second set of depth images;
• a second set of computer instructions executable on the processor capable of applying rotational and translational matrix transformations on the first set of three dimensional points to align said first set of three dimensional points with the second set of three dimensional points and then calculating and storing a square of the sum of the differences between the first set of three dimensional points with the second set of three dimensional points as an error;
• a third set of computer instructions executable on a processor capable of reconstructing the surface of the body by minimizing an error between the first and second set of three dimensional points by repeatedly making iterative and small changes to the matrix transformations and then re-calculating the error until the error is minimized;
• a fourth set of computer instructions executable on the processor capable of applying poisson surface reconstruction to construct a mesh;
• a fifth set of computer instructions executable on the processor capable of rigging the mesh with a biped bone structure, scaled and sized to appropriately fit the mesh;
• a sixth set of computer instructions executable on the processor capable of utilizing the bone structure from within the mesh to identify one or more anthropometric points of measure;
• and
• a seventh set of computer instructions executable on the processor capable of extracting anthropometric body circumferences by calculating the convex hull associated with points around a specific region of the body's surface;
• and
• an eighth set of computer instructions executable on a processor capable of creating biometrics based on the anthropometric body circumferences.
