APPARATUS FOR RECOMMENDATION FOR BEST FITTING SHOE

摘要

A system for providing a list of the best fitting shoes based on comparison of the users foot's measurements and that of the shoes. The measurements are taken from the 3 Dimensional (3D) model, using automated photogrammetry techniques. The 3D model is generated from the images captured by cameras inside the apparatus. The data captured is stored on remotely connected database. User preferences are also taken into consideration for the recommendation of the shoes.

主权项

1. A kiosk for the measurement of a plurality of characteristics of the foot, to compare the plurality of characteristics against a database of shoes, and to determine the best match between a shoe in the database and the measurement of the plurality of foot characteristics, the kiosk comprising:
(a) a chamber with a closable door; (b) a transparent plate inside the chamber where the foot is placed for measurement; (c) a plurality of cameras in a variety of predetermined positions in the chamber directed toward the foot location to capture images of the foot such that a 3D model of the foot is generated from the images captured by the cameras; and (d) a database of shoes which includes the size and other measurements of each shoe, and a recommendation generator that generates recommendations of shoes based on relating the 3D model of the foot to the database of shoes.
