Method and apparatus for sizing and fitting an individual for apparel, accessories, or prosthetics
First Claim
1. A method of determining a spatial distance of curvature along an unclosed curve that tracks a body surface of an individual for sizing and fitting the individual for apparel, accessories, or prosthetics, the method comprising:
- capturing data corresponding to the individual positioned within a field-of view of at least one energy emitter and at least one energy sensor, the at least one energy sensor configured to capture energy reflected from the individual and other objects within the field-of-view, wherein the data corresponds to an incomplete representation of a surface of the body of the individual;
generating depth data for the field-of-view based on the captured data from the at least one energy sensor; and
calculating one or more spatial measurements of a portion of a body surface of the individual based on the generated depth data for the field-of-view for sizing and fitting the individual for apparel, accessories, or prosthetics, comprising;
determining an estimated position of each of one or more body landmarks based at least in part on the generated depth data;
determining an outline of the single body portion that is bounded by the estimated position(s), wherein said determining provides an incomplete representation of the surface of the portion of the body surface in question;
selecting two or more terminuses of the outline of the single body portion;
determining a spatial distance of curvature connecting at least two of the two or more terminuses using at least one of heuristic technique or approximation; and
storing the spatial distance of curvature as a measurement of the single body portion.

Abstract
A system for sizing and fitting an individual for apparel, accessories, or prosthetics includes at least one energy emitter configured to emit energy onto a field-of-view that contains an individual, and at least one energy sensor configured to capture reflected energy from within the field-of-view. A spatial measurement module calculates spatial measurements of a surface portion of the body of the individual when the individual is either stationary or moving about in real-time, based on data from the energy sensor.

14. A system of determining a spatial distance of curvature along an unclosed curve that tracks a body surface of an individual for sizing and fitting an individual for apparel, accessories, or prosthetics, the system comprising:
-
at least one energy emitter for capturing energy reflected from the individual and other objects within a field of view; at least one energy sensor energy reflected from the individual and other objects within the field of view, thereby capturing data corresponding to an individual positioned within the field-of view, wherein the data corresponds to an incomplete representation of a surface of the body of the individual; a depth calculation module for generating depth data corresponding to the individual and other objects in the field-of-view, based on information from the at least one energy sensor; and a spatial measurement module for calculating, based on the generated depth data, spatial measurements of a portion of a body surface of the individual in the field-of-view for sizing and fitting the individual for apparel, accessories, or prosthetics, wherein the spatial measurement module comprises a processor and a memory storing instructions thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor cause the processor to; determine an estimated position of each of one or more body landmarks based at least in part on the generated depth data; determine an outline of the single body portion that is bounded by the estimated position(s), wherein said determining provides an incomplete representation of the surface of the portion of the body surface in question;
select two or more terminuses of the outline of the single body portion;determine a spatial distance of curvature connecting at least two of the two or more terminuses using at least one of heuristic technique or approximation; and
store the spatial distance of curvature as a measurement of the single body portion. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
