Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a scanning device comprising a support base, a pressure panel disposed on an upper surface of the support base, and a plurality of cameras distributed around an outer perimeter of the support base.
Claims20
A scanning device comprising:
- a support base comprising substantially flat upper and lower surfaces;
- a pressure panel disposed on the upper surface of the support base, the pressure panel comprising a plurality of pressure sensors;
- a plurality of cameras distributed around an outer perimeter of the support base and substantially oriented toward a center of the pressure panel;
- and
- a processing device operatively coupled to the pressure panel and each of the plurality of cameras, wherein the processing device is configured to activate and receive data generated by the pressure panel and each of the plurality of cameras.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- capturing a two-dimensional pressure map of an individual's foot while the individual is standing on a pressure panel;
- capturing images of the individual's foot by a plurality of cameras arranged around the pressure panel;
- and
- computing a three-dimensional reconstruction of the individual's foot in a form of a smooth three-dimensional surface comprising an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the upper portion is computed based on the captured images, and wherein the lower portion is computed based on the two-dimensional pressure map to account for the underside of the individual's foot that is not visible to the plurality of cameras.
1 more element
A scanning device comprising:
- a support base comprising substantially flat upper and lower surfaces;
- a plurality of cameras distributed around an outer perimeter of the support base and mechanically coupled thereto, wherein the plurality of cameras are configured to rotate around a central axis of the support base while remaining oriented toward a center of the support base;
- and
- a processing device operatively coupled to each of the plurality of cameras, wherein the processing device is configured to activate and receive data generated by each of the plurality of cameras.
