***************.
My current interest is related in human body shapes, so I
know these scanning systems well.
http://www.dh.aist.go.jp/
http://www.dh.aist.go.jp/research/centered/
We're involved in the international data exchange project of
3-D body shape, WEAR. So we know the latest information of
international body scanning systems.
http://ovrt.nist.gov/projects/wear/
Generally speaking, the following points are important to
select the scanning system:
1. Accuracy, Of course, accurate system is better.
2. Price,
3. Speed
Scanning duration is important factor. With long scanning
duration, subject human maybe sway. In my experiences,
whole body scanning should be completed within 10
seconds.
4. Hidden area
Several body regions cannot be measured because of
occlusion, especially under the pit, under the crotch.
Hidden regions are able to reduced with the alignment of
scanning heads.
5. Software
Software is very important.
After scanning, four data processes are required.
(1) Noise reduction
(2) Alignment (of multi camera data)
(3) Merge
(4) Landmark picking and labeling
(5) Calculation of body dimensions from 3-D shape data
I understand that the most of commercial systems contain
the software of (1),(2) and (3). These are fundamental
functions. Whereas, only a few systems have an automatic
landmarking software. If you plan to measure many
subjects, it is a sever problem.
> Cyberware (US)
> http://www.cyberware.com/
The national sizing survey in US (CAESAR project) and Korea
(size-KOREA) used this system. This system is very expensive
(most expensive among three options), but the software is
very smart. The system contains the software (1)-(5).
> VITRONIC (Germany)
> http://www.vitronic.de/en/bodyscannen/
The national sizing survey in the Netherlands (by TNO) and
Spain (by IBV) used this system. The measurement method is
very similar to Cyberware. The company, VITRONIC is
collaborating with the digital human modeling company, Human
Solutions GmbH. I understand that their collaboration is
very nice. The system contains the software (1)-(5).
> HAMAMATSU (Japan)
> http://jp.hamamatsu.com/products/node.do?dir=/division/sys/pd362/
> pd369&lang=en&ext=html
We use this system. I think it is inexpensive.
We're collaboration with the company, HAMAMATSU.
This system contains the software (1)-(5), and it also have
the software of homologous modeling.
I can inform you alternative scanners:

we have got a 3D full body scanner from Vitronic ("Vitus Smart").
http://www.vitus.de/english/home_en.html
http://www.vitronic.de/en/
These scanners and software are distributed by the company human
solutions GmbH
http://www.human-solutions.com/apparel_industry/index_en.php
Hope this helps.,Kind regards,

I can give you some opinions of my use of the scanner and software
"ScanWorks". The scan time is quite fast less than 10s for a person. The
scan volume is quite big to fit in a person. That means the resolution
is not so good as if the volume would be smaller. The info sheets tell a
resolution of 2-3mm I guess, but from my experience it is in some cases
also more. Once I had small markers on a person and not all could be
seen on the computer screen (size of the markers 10mm diameter).
Horizontal surfaces are not well displayed as they have the same
orientation as the horizontal laser layer. The hair on the Head are not
well displayed as well, because the laser light is not well reflected.
But I guess that is with every laser scanner. I have only experience
with our body scanner.
The software is quite good. You have a lot of possibilities to display
the scan (purify from artefacts of the light that comes from outside,
smooth, different triangulation of the mesh, anthropometric measurements
with the cursor (length, circumference, diameters)). You also have the
possibility to create close surfaces of parts of the body out of the
mesh. The scan consists of many points in the space that resembles a
surface. You have a lot of export formats.
Concerning the price, we had an old and used one that we got and it is
almost ten years old, I think. So I can't tell you the price.
Hope I could help you a bit.

Florian

Thank you for your interest in our 3D body scanning system.
Our NX-12 body scanner is USD $40,000 FOB Cary, NC. This price
includes the full scanner, computers, flat panel monitor, and a software
license (measurement extraction software). Installation and training is
an additional charge. These additional items, including special
packaging for international shipments, actual shipping and customs fees,
and our technician's time and travel expense to install the scanner and
train your staff would be an additional USD $20,000. We do have an
agent in the UK who handles some of our installations and service
matters.
Terms are 50% down and balance at installation and includes a one year
warranty. Extended maintenance contracts are available, including a
$1,000 annual fee for software upgrades and technical support. Delivery
is approximately 10 weeks after receipt of deposit.
I have attached some general information. The data density from this
scanner is about 600,000-800,000 points for a body and is scanned from
12 fixed heads at 4 angles around the body and at 3 heights. The
footprint of the model I am quoting you is 5X10 feet and will fit within
an 8 foot ceiling. The "enclosure" for this model is a fabric walled
aluminum frame room. A wood paneled enclosure as depicted is $5,000
extra.
