Telemedical, automatized system for three dimensional measurement, analysis, detection, monitoring and treatment of postural failures and deformations of the human body

The aim of project is to develop telemedical system incorporating 3D measurement system for human body and automatical measurement result analysis methods to aid in human physique diagnosis (posture, static defects and deformations), monitoring of treatment and rehabilitation progress, screening, epidemiological and statistical studies of the population.

The system will be based on optical non-contact field methods using digital raster projection. The result of the measurement are clouds of points (x, y, z, intensity) representing the surface of the measured object. To measure a significant surface area of the human body, the contractor team plans to use four measurement modules in the project. Each of them will measure in a common coordinate system after carrying out the calibration process. Due to the selected measurement method, the object should be illuminated with a sequence of raster images and taken with a CCD detector to determine the shape of the object’s surface from one direction. Due to optimal measurement conditions, it is planned to use a gray-tinted CCD detector.
