Abstract

A three-dimensional data acquisition system, using a structured-light technique, based on the fast projection of a sequence of patterns on the scene under analysis, is described. This system has multiple applications, namely, in anthropometry. Its first application will be the estimation of woman breast volume, aiming at the sizing of prosthesis and breast cancer related studies.
