The 3D shape of the human body is useful for applications in fitness, games and apparel. Accurate body scanners, however, are expensive, limiting the availability of 3D body models. We present a method for human shape reconstruction from noisy monocular image and range data using a single inexpensive commodity sensor (the Kinect). The approach combines low-resolution image silhouettes with coarse range data to estimate a parametric model of the body. Accurate 3D shape estimates are obtained by combining multiple monocular views of a person moving in front of the
sensor. To cope with varying body pose, we use a SCAPE body model which factors 3D body shape and pose variations. This enables the estimation of a single consistent shape while allowing pose to vary. We propose a simple method to estimate standard body measurements from the recovered SCAPE model and show that the accuracy of our method is competitive with commercial
body scanning systems costing orders of magnitude more.

  • Maby this is a new thing for games? Instead of playing a pre-made character, you can scan your body in kinect, and then you can play with yourself!

  • @cxlcitymaster is this software available? What is the accuracy of the point cloud?

  • Is there any way I could get this?

  • Interesting application...This could be an economical way to make bespoke clothing.

  • So its maybe possible to give the 3D Body

    The picture texture of the Person

  • @KeithWasHere1 wait for kinect 2

  • is there anyway of canceling out all the noise?
