Abstract
“The Moiré Contourgraphy” as an efficient mehtod of three dimensional measurement of human body is applied in practical use in the fields of industry, medical science and so on, and precise measurement of human bodies can be made from the pattern of the moiré contour lines.
In the field of the planning of clothes, the patterns, areas and radii of carvature of the horizontal sections are needed, and it takes a long time and is difficult to get a precise measurement of these values from the moiré topography.
This inspired us to study an analzing system of the moiré photograph and following procedure successfully gives the drawing of the horizontal sections and precise values of it's girths, areas, radii of curvature.
1) By the pictures which are taken from four directions, we make some horizontal sections by using the spline interpolation, 2) compute girths and areas of horizontal sections by the method of numerical integration, 3) then compute radii of curvature of horizontal sections, 4) and finally compute radii of curvature of sagittal sections.
