Whole Body Color 3 D Scanner by Cyberware

Whole Body Color 3 D Scanner by Cyberware (www. cyberware. com) This - captures the shape and color of the entire human body - enables to obtain accurate measurements and realistic alternatives to oversimplified or stylized forms - allows fashion designers, animators, and researchers to work with true human 3 D body data

Features (1) - rapid scanning time (as little as 17 seconds) - captures the intricacies of the human body in one pass (the scanning instruments start at the person's head and move down only once to scan the entire body) - has improved accuracy on the sides of the body and in difficult-to-reach areas, such as under a person's arms - scans a cylindrical volume 2 meters (79") high with a diameter of 1. 2 meters (47"). These dimensions accommodate the vast majority of the human population. For even larger subjects, software enables the user to combine two or more scans quickly into a complete 3 D color model

Features (2) - color information in 3 D digitizing makes available nearly all the information a graphics application needs to fully describe an object - The software offered by Cyberware includes tools for editing, modifying, and measuring scanned objects - Tools are also provided to translate file formats so that you can take advantage of the many commercially-available software packages that work with 3 D models

System Specification (1) - Field of View (Cylindrical) diameter : 120 cm (47 inch), height : 200 cm (79 inch) - Sampling Pitch horizontal (X) : 5 mm (0. 19"), vertical (Y) : Depends upon motion platform speed; 30 samples per second in Y; typically 2 mm (0. 080") depth (Z) : 0. 5 mm (0. 019") - Color Data 8 bits each for red, green, and blue, or luminance - Sampling Speed 60, 000 points per second, digitized to X, Y, Z and R, G, and B components.

System Specification (2) - Size width : 360 cm (144"), height : 292 cm (117") depth : 300 cm (120"), weight : 450 Kg (992 lbs) - Output Formats Echo, PLY, 3 D Studio, OBJ, STL, ASCII, DXF (3 D FACES), DXF, IGES 106 110 112 124, VRML, IGES 128 NURBS, Inventor, Digital Arts (SGI), MOVIE. BYU (SGI), SCR (Mesh & Slice) (SGI)

Scanning Process - uses four scanning instruments mounted on two vertical towers - A person stands on the scanner's platform - The scanning instruments start at the person's head and move down to scan the entire body

3 D Body Line Scanner In Japan (www. hpk. co. jp) - With an infrared LED and a semiconductor position sensing detector (PSD), triangulation is used for rapid, non-contact measurement of three-dimensional shapes of target objects - measures 3 -dimensional shapes of the human body, by positioning multiple distance sensors around the person being measured and scanning from top to bottom. A single scan reads 192 points in the horizontal direction and 340 points in the vertical direction, in only 16 seconds.

Features - measures 3 -dimensional shapes of the human body in only 16 seconds, and displays it on monitor 1 minutes later - has accuracy within 0. 5% error extent - Scannig volume height : 2 m, thickness : 5 m, width : 9 m - developed sotfware(Body Line Manager, BLM). This software extracts landmarks(42 poins) and measures 53 lists automatically. Also posssible to simulate wearing figures. - possibly apply to clothing, medical, engineering field
