Abstract

Human body measurement is essential in modern rehabilitation medicine, which can be effectively combined with the technology of additive manufacturing. Digital image correlation based on laser speckle projection is a single-shot, accurate, and robust technique for human body measurement. In this paper, we present a handheld anthropometric measurement system based on laser speckle projection. A flexible retroreflective marker target is designed for multi-view data registration. Meanwhile, a synchronous redundancy-reduction algorithm based on a re-projected global disparity map is proposed. Experiment results validate that the proposed system is effective and accurate for different human body part measurements. Comparative experiments show that the proposed redundancy-reduction algorithm has high efficiency and can effectively preserve the features of complex shapes. The comprehensive performance of the algorithm is better than the other two tested methods.
