Whole body scanners
article
Whole body scanning is a useful technique with applications in the apparel industry, human systems engineering and the medical field. A worldwide review of whole body scanners describes eight commercially available systems. The scanners differ considerably in price (50 to 410 thousand dollars), resolution (1 to 8 mm) and speed (0.2 to 30 seconds). Most scanners use laser stripe projection; other techniques are patterned light projection and stereo photogrammetry. To cover a high percentage of the body surface area, the arrangement of the projection devices and cameras has to be chosen wisely. It depends on the application area which configuration is best suited for the job.
