This report documents the first phase of a 3-D surface scanning system validation study. The study has three phases: (1) component functionality, (2) application as a measurement tool, and (3) comparison to traditional methods for research and design applications. The first phase describes the Cyberware Color 3-D Digitizer, Model 4020 RGB/PS-D used for anthropometric data collection at the Computerized Anthropometric Research and Design (CARD) Laboratory at Wright-Patterson AFB OH. The ...
This report presents a mathematical morphological filtering technique to eliminate impulse noise from human head surface data generated by laser surface scanning technologies. In the area of image processing, mathematical morphology refers-to a branch of nonlinear filters which use geometric form and structure to alter a signal. Several structuring elements were investigated with a spherical structuring element being selected as the best candidate. A spherical element is the ideal shape ...
