3D cameras ensure accurate development of custom shoe insoles

摘要

Foot impression foams help orthopedists develop shoe insoles that provide customers with additional support for their feet. To create accurate measurements of these foams, foot fitting company paromed has developed a portable 3D measurement system. The portable system is based on an Ensenso 10 3D camera from IDS Imaging Development Systems. Ensenso N10 stereo cameras feature two 752 × 480 pixel global shutter CMOS image sensors and a USB interface. The N10 cameras feature an infrared pattern projector that projects a random pattern of dots onto the object to be captured, allowing structures that are not visible or only faintly visible on the surface to be enhanced or highlighted. This is necessary because stereo matching requires the identification of interest points in a given image.
