METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ANTHROPOMORPHIC IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION FOR MILITARY AND CIVILIAN PURPOSES

摘要

The invention concerns a method and an apparatus for automatic identification of shapes of the volume of the human body. The method consists in acquiring a number of contrasted silhouettes to calculate the perimeters of the ellipsoids obtained by intersection of the planes passing through the vertical axis of the body being examined. The apparatus comprises a fixed telecamera (1) and a revolving platform (2) which enable to highlight the silhouettes obtained by contrasting the human body with an illuminating panel (3).
