Abstract
This paper presents a method to measure leg shape for a fitting simulator to be used in Internet mail order. In the method, a user first takes a picture of the leg from multiple viewpoints. Then feature points are extracted from the images and the corresponding points among images are found. Finally, three-dimensional position of each feature point is calculated based on the correspondence and the camera parameters. However, it is normally difficult to find feature points on legs. So we utilize pattered tights and the feature points are thereby easily obtained, for example, by extracting corners of the pattern. The advantage of the proposed method is that it does not require special equipment and space.
