Abstract
In some examples, a system receives an input three-dimensional (3D) representation of a foot, and analyzes the input 3D representation of the foot to identify first points corresponding to metatarsal bones of the foot. Based on locations of the first points corresponding to the metatarsal bones, the system identifies a second point corresponding to a heel of the foot, and generates, based on the first points and the second point, a representation of features of the foot.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, an input three-dimensional (3D) representation of a foot;
- analyzing, by the processor, the input 3D representation of the foot to identify first points based on positions along a width of a widest portion of a front region of a sole of the foot, the first points corresponding to first and fifth metatarsal bones of the foot, the positions determined based on the width and respective parameter values;
- based on locations of the first points, identifying, by the processor, a second point corresponding to a heel of the foot;
- and
- generating, by the processor, based on the first points and the second point, a representation of features of the foot.

A method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, an input three-dimensional (3D) representation of a foot;
- analyzing, by the processor, the input 3D representation of the foot to identify first points corresponding to a first metatarsal bone and one or more other metatarsal bones of the foot;
- based on locations of the first points, identifying, by the processor, a second point corresponding to a medial heel portion of a heel of the foot;
- identifying, by the processor, a projected point aligned with the second point along a width axis of the foot;
- identifying, by the processor, a region within a central portion of a line between the first point corresponding to the first metatarsal bone and the projected point aligned with the second point along the width axis of the foot;
- identifying, by the processor, an arch point corresponding to an arch of the foot, as a highest elevation point of a sole of the foot within the region;
- and
- generating, by the processor, based on the first points, the second point, and the arch point, a representation of features of the foot.
