A microprocessor-based 3-D anthropometer

University of British Columbia

Three-dimensional measurement, in relation to the human form, is reviewed and a need is perceived for a workstation which is capable of gathering three-dimensional data around an object such as a limb. A new device is presented to fill this measurement niche. Incorporating an instrumented spatial linkage and a stand-alone microcomputer, the device is portable and programmable. Technical and clinical trials indicate its accuracy and working volume are appropriate for anthropometric applications. Cost is estimated to be comparable to that of commercially existing three-dimensional digitizers.
