Outdoor and Contactless Body Size Measurement scheme through Multi-view Images for Full-size Animation Model Making under COVID-19

Abstract

This paper focuses on the problem of human body size parameter measurement under the global novel corona virus (2019-nCoV) epidemic situation, and proposes a non-contact measurement scheme for human body with the principle of multi-view stereo vision. Furthermore, the motion recovery structure and multi-view dense reconstruction are used to extract the point cloud of human body. Based on the point clouds extracted, the size information of human body is obtained. As shown by the experimental results, compared with the traditional contact and other contactless measurements, this scheme has some advantages such as safety, low cost and wide range of application, which is a good supplement to the existing reconstruction technology. The reconstruction procedures of two kinds human bodies are analysed in this article. Some great advises have been concluded in this study through the different human bodies reconstruction errors analysis. Meanwhile, the results of automatic modelling can provide necessary materials for the animation model making in the next work.
