Abstract

A precise 3D body scanning system, designed for applications in the medical and biomedical field, is described. The system consists of 12 digital cameras, mounted on a rigid frame which maintains the B/H ratio constant. An LED lighting system, integrated with the rigid frame, ensures a homogenous illumination of the subject. A modified firmware installed on each device enables the synchronised remote release driven by remote control. Data transmission to the computer is carried out wirelessly. A process for the estimation of the extrinsic camera parameters has been implemented with the aim of obtaining a 3D model in 1:1 scale. Analyses have been performed in order to state the repeatability of the process used to estimate the external camera calibration parameters as well as the precision of the 3D digital models of a body obtained for a mannequin and for a live human subject.
