Abstract
A mobile, hand-held communication device with a digital display, and a 3D camera for acquiring a three-dimensional image of the human body is programmed to function as a digital anthropometer. The user digitizes anatomical landmarks on the displayed image to quickly obtain anatomical measurements which are used with a known morphological relationship to make an anatomical prediction for clothing measurement, body composition, orthotic and insert manufacturing, and postural displacement with accuracy and without external equipment.
Claims18
A method of deriving an anatomical prediction using a known morphological relationship and a programmed apparatus including a digital touch screen display and a 3D camera configured to acquire an image of a person on the digital touch screen display, the method comprising:
- acquiring at least one digital three-dimensional image of a person on the digital touch screen display;
- digitizing points on a plurality of anatomical landmarks on the displayed three-dimensional image;
- calculating a circumferential measurement of at least a portion of a body of a person in the displayed three-dimensional image using at least the digitized points on the displayed three-dimensional image;
- and
- making an anatomical prediction based on the calculated circumferential measurement and a known morphological relationship.
A method for making an anatomical measurement of a body of a person, the method comprising:
- providing a digital anthropometer on a mobile device;
- acquiring at least one digital three-dimensional image of a body of a person and displaying the digital three-dimensional image on the device;
- and
- digitizing anatomical landmarks provided on the digital three-dimensional image displayed on the device for calculating a circumferential measurement of the body of the person.
A system for determining an anatomical measurement of a body of a person, the system comprising:
- a programmed device comprising a digital touch screen display having an array of pixels;
- a 3D camera configured to acquire a three-dimensional image of a at least a portion of a body of a person on the digital touch screen display,
- a digital anthropometer configured to digitize anatomical landmarks on the three-dimensional image of the at least the portion of the body of the person displayed on the digital touch screen display in order to calculate a circumferential measurement of the at least the portion of the body of the person;
- and
- a controller configured to make an anatomical prediction using the circumferential measurement and a known morphological relationship.
