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.

    young people, store your 3D body scan now so you can back up your proclamations of: you should have seen me then. no doubt this will be a one click business - but save those scans now.

    Is this product and/or system available for purchase. I recently completed my Lean six Sigma training and one of my projects is centered around sizing. The company that i work for manufactures custom body armor.
