Abstract: This invention belongs to measurement methods that can be used in light industry, when measuring the shape and size of the human body parts. Disclosed is a method, over the course of which, based on a series of photographs an image of a flat object of known shape and size is identified on each photograph. The body part area is isolated from the background in the image, and the area of an arbitrary body that does not belong to the projection of the human body part is cut out. Also disclosed is a method for searching an image of a flat object of known shape and size, its projection, and the camera location and orientation, over the course of which the predicted image of the flat object is compared to the real on. Here, the particle dynamics technique is used for isolating a human body part from the image background.

Abstract: A compression sock used in a foot measuring system, and worn on a user's foot that has a metatarsophalangeal joint area. The compression sock includes a sock cuff end, and a sock body. The sock cuff end is for insertion by the user's foot. The sock body is connected to the sock cuff end, and includes a high compression zone that surrounds the metatarsophalangeal joint area, and a standard compression zone that is proximate to the sock cuff end. A compression pressure value exerted by the high compression zone of the sock body on the metatarsophalangeal joint area is higher than a compression pressure value exerted by the standard compression zone on the rest of the user's foot.

Abstract: Provided is a device for measuring at least one dimension of an object. The device includes at least one body configured to be arranged along, or around, the object. The, or each, body carries an elongate stretchable waveguide and is configured to allow stretching the waveguide along its length when arranged along, or around, the object. The, or each, waveguide is associated with a sensor. The, or each, sensor includes a light emitter arranged and operable to emit at least one light pulse through the associated waveguide, and a light detector arranged to receive the at least one light pulse conveyed through the waveguide. The device also includes a communication module communicatively coupled with the, or each, sensor, and configured to communicate measurement data from the, or each, sensor to a processor to allow determining the at least one dimension. Systems and methods for measuring at least one dimension of an object are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable medium for foot differentiation scoring pertaining to an individual's differences in their two feet. A method includes receiving, from sensors of a scanning device, pressure and/or other measurement data corresponding to feet of a user. The method further includes preprocessing the pressure and/or measurement data. The method further includes generating, based on the preprocessed pressure and/or measurement data, a foot differentiation score based on differences between a left foot and a right foot of the user. The foot differentiation score may assign or correspond to a numerical rating based on how different the user's left foot and right foot are from each other.

Abstract: Under the inventive process, the customised split insole is made by processing manually collected medical data and arch data along with plantar pressure distribution data and foot type data both of which are collected using a computer enabled Plantar Pressure Measuring Device in a first computer and processing these data in a second computer to generate a Projection Data which is expressed in Shore Hardness Value. Then, ranking of the projection data into a zone wise Ranking Index, determining the elasticity of the material to be used for the said Shore Hardness Value, converting the said shore hardness value into Surface Tessellation Language and transmitting the same to a third computer built into a 3D printing machine which selects a suitable material and its elasticity zone wise as per the Shore Hardness Value and 3D prints the same.
