Abstract

In the past decade, significant effort has been made toward increasing the accuracy and robustness in the three-dimensional scanning methods. In this paper, we introduce a novel laser-stripe, 3D scanning system which was developed to digitize a whole human body. We also suggest a new semi-automatic contour registration method to generate robust contours from the 3D data points acquired by our scanning system. A contour triangulation based surface modoling method was also introduced. Experimental result shows that our system is very robust and efficient for reconstructing overall 3D surface model of a human body.

인간의 신체에 대한 정확한 3차원 표면모델을 추출할 수 있는 기술에 대한 요구와 관심이 최근 멀티미디어 등 다양한 응용 분야에서 증폭되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 인체의 ,3차원 모델을 효율적으로 추출하기 위한, 3차원 스캐너를 소개하였으며, 취득된 3차원 정보로부터 등고선(Wire-frame Contour)을 안정적으로 생성하는 반자동 등고선 생성 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 생성된 등고선으로부터 3차원 표면모델을 추출하기 위한 표면 삼각분할 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 실험을 통해 개발된 시스템과 제안된 방법이 안정적이고 효과적으로 인체의, 3차원 표면모델을 생성하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
