Abstract
Computer-implemented method for determining at least one production value for producing a custom tailored compression garment for a limb involving receiving a three dimensional dataset of the limb, evaluating the dataset to derive at least one reference information describing the position of an anatomical feature of the limb, determining the at least one measurement position for the at least one production value in the three dimensional dataset using at least one rule of a rule set, and determining the at least one production value from the three dimensional dataset at the at least one determined measurement position.

A computer-implemented method for determining at least one production value for producing a custom tailored compression garment for a limb (23), comprising the steps of:
- receiving a three dimensional dataset of the limb (23) acquired using a 3D scan device (20),
- evaluating the dataset to derive at least one reference information describing the position (1-14) of an anatomical feature of the limb (23) along the length of the limb (23),
- determining the at least one measurement position for the at least one production value in the three dimensional dataset using at least one rule of a rule set (34), wherein each rule relates at least one reference information to at least one measurement position, and
- determining the at least one production value from the three dimensional dataset at the at least one determined measurement position,
- wherein the at least one production value is associated with at least one measurement position along the length of the limb (23),
- wherein the at least one production value comprises manufacturing values and/or intermediate values, and
- wherein the at least one production value is used to derive a knitting program adapted to control a garment production apparatus.
A determination system (19) for at least one production value for producing a custom tailored compression garment for a limb (23), wherein the at least one production value is associated with at least one measurement position along the length of the limb (23), comprising:
- an interface for receiving a three dimensional dataset of the limb (23) acquired using a 3D scan device (20),
- an evaluation unit for evaluating the dataset to derive at least one reference information describing the position of an anatomical feature of the limb (23) along the length of the limb (23),
- a first determination unit determining the at least one measurement position for the at least one production value in the three dimensional dataset using at least one rule of a rule set (34), wherein each rule relates at least one reference information to at least one measurement position,
- a second determination unit for determining the at least one production value from the three dimensional dataset at the at least one determined measurement position, and
- a storage means (20) wherein the rule set (34) is stored,
- wherein the at least one production value is associated with at least one measurement position along the length of the limb and comprises manufacturing values and/or intermediate values, and
- wherein the at least one production value is used to derive a knitting program adapted to control a garment production apparatus.
