Abstract
A method and a system for processing a plurality of camera images of a human body surface target area over time includes the steps of obtaining a plurality of images of a human body surface target area of a human body captured by a first camera over time, obtaining physical data of the human body, and generating a 3D model of at least the human body surface target area.
Claims15
A computer-implemented method for processing a plurality of camera images of a human body surface target area over time, the method comprising the steps of:
- obtaining a plurality of images of a human body surface target area of a human body captured by a first camera over time;
- obtaining physical data of said human body, wherein said physical data include one or more of a length and/or a weight of said human body, a circumference of a hip, waist and/or a chest of said human body, an age and/or a gender of said human body;
- generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of at least said human body surface target area based on a statistical shape model (SSM) of a human body and on said obtained physical data of said human body;
- and
- mapping said plurality of images on the generated SSM-based 3D model of said human body surface target area, thereby obtaining an anatomical alignment of said plurality of images of said human body surface target area.
A system for processing a plurality of camera images of a human body surface target area over time comprising:
- a first camera configured to capture a plurality of images of at least said human body surface target area of a human body over time, and
- - a controller and a memory with computer program code configured to perform the method according to any of the preceding claims.
