METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FORMING A VIRTUAL MODEL OF A HUMAN SUBJECT

摘要

The method uses a hand-held scanner and a scanning module and can include: providing module reference data concerning the scanning module; immobilizing the subject relative to the scanning module; obtaining a plurality of depth images of the immobilized subject and module, the depth images being from corresponding different points of view relative to a ground reference; determining a position and an orientation of the scanning module in each one of the depth images using the module reference data; and forming the virtual model of the subject, including registering the plurality of depth images using the determined position and orientation of the scanning module.
