Abstract
The invention relates to an inspection method of a shoe worn by a foot of an individual comprising the following steps: acquiring (S1) a thermal image of the shoe when it is worn by a foot of the individual by means of a thermal camera, determining (S2), from the thermal image of the shoe, a lower limit of the foot of the individual, determining (S3) a position of the shoe relative to the thermal camera at the time of acquisition of the thermal image, and deducing (S4) of the position of the shoe relative to the camera and of the lower limit of the foot, a distance between the lower face of the sole and the lower face of the foot of the individual.

An inspection method of a shoe (2) worn by a foot of an individual, the shoe (2) comprising a sole (3) comprising a lower face intended to come into contact with a floor, and the method comprising the following steps:
- acquiring (S1) a thermal image of the shoe (2) when it is worn by a foot of the individual by means of a thermal camera (7),
- determining (S2), from the thermal image of the shoe (2), a lower limit (9) of the foot of the individual, said lower limit (9) corresponding to a lower face (5) of the foot,
- determining (S3) a position of the shoe (2) relative to the thermal camera (7) at the time of acquisition of the thermal image, and
- deducing (S4) of the position of the shoe (2) relative to the camera and of the lower limit (9) of the foot, a distance (6) between the lower face (4) of the sole (3) and the lower face (5) of the foot of the individual.
A system for inspection of a shoe (2) comprising a sole (3), when the shoe (2) is worn by an individual, the system comprising:
- a base (10) configured to receive at least one foot of an individual covered by the shoe (2),
- a thermal camera (7) configured to acquire a thermal image of the shoe (2) worn by the individual,
- means (15) configured to determine a position of the shoe (2) relative to the thermal camera (7) and
- a processor (16) configured to determine, from the thermal image of the shoe (2), a lower limit (9) of the foot of the individual, said lower limit (9) corresponding to a lower face (5) of the foot, and deducing of the position of the shoe (2) relative to the thermal camera (7) and of the lower limit (9) of the foot, a distance (6) between the lower face (4) of the sole (3) and the lower face (5) of the foot of the individual.
