Mehtod and apparatus for processing foot information

A computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a computer program for executing a foot information processing method executed by a processor of a foot information processing apparatus, the foot information processing method comprising the steps of:

• generating an initial three-dimensional (3D) model of a foot based on a plurality of foot images, which are obtained by photographing the foot from various angles;
• generating an intermediate 3D model by removing ground and noise from the initial 3D model;
• generating a final 3D model with a normal foot shape by restoring a portion of the foot that has been removed along with the ground when generating the intermediate 3D model;
• and
• calculating foot-related information from the final 3D model and recommending shoes.

A foot information processing apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory operatively connected to the processor and storing at least one piece of code to be executed by the processor,
• wherein the memory stores code that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to
• generate an initial three-dimensional (3D) model of a foot based on a plurality of foot images, which are obtained by photographing the foot from various angles,
• generate an intermediate 3D model by removing ground and noise from the initial 3D model,
• generate a final 3D model with a normal foot shape by restoring a portion of the foot that has been removed along with the ground when generating the intermediate 3D model, and
• calculate foot-related information from the final 3D model and recommend shoes.
