Abstract
A method is disclosed for evaluating data representing the three-dimensional shape of at least a portion of the surface of a human being or animal, in the following referred to as 3D data, wherein 3D data of at least two data sets, each representing the three-dimensional shape of at least a portion of the surface of a human being or animal and each taken from a database of three-dimensional shapes, in the following referred to as 3D data sets. Auxiliary devices may be manufactured based on 3D data stored in the data base, and a method for obtaining the 3D data to be stored in the data base is also disclosed.

A method for detecting the three-dimensional shape of a surface using an optical recording device which is adapted and configured for taking images containing three-dimensional data of the surface, in the following referred to as 3D images, the method comprising:
- moving the optical recording device along the surface while taking a plurality of 3D images,
- detecting the movement and orientation of the optical recording device in three-dimensional space with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) detects,
- determining the three-dimensional shape of the surface by taking into account a temporal correlation of the data acquired by the IMU with the three-dimensional data provided by the optical recording device, and
- providing detection data representing the determined three-dimensional shape of the surface.
