3D scanning for custom footwear and orthotics
Challenge
Accurately develop a three-dimensional profile of each customer’s foot, including measurements of the length, width, instep, arch height, girth, arch type, and other parameters.
Solution
Intel® RealSense™ depth camera D415 puts an Intel module and vision processor into a small form factor, which is ideal for the development and productization of the revolutionary Aetrex Albert 2 Pro scanner.
Results
In 20 seconds or less, Albert 2 Pro uses Intel RealSense technology to capture a three-dimensional, 360-degree representation of each foot, helping customers select correctly fitting footwear and orthotics.
Introduction: innovative technology leads to the best fit
Aetrex has forged a reputation as an industry leader with its Albert 2 Pro Scanner, Albert 3DFit Scanner, and Albert Pressure Scanner. The Aetrex scanners use Intel RealSense technology to create a complete 3D reconstruction of each foot. To construct the computer vision system for Albert 2 Pro, Aetrex integrated four depth cameras and 5,184 gold plated sensors, enabling precise 3D scanning capabilities.
Personalized footwear and orthotic recommendations
The process begins with a 3D foot scan in the store. Consumers can instantly view their 3D measurements and receive their unique foot profile data via email. Retailers who fully integrate the program can then have FitGenius recommendations appear wherever the consumer shops—whether in store, on the website, or through email blasts and social media channels.
Putting Intel RealSense to work
Each Albert 2 Pro device uses four depth cameras to gather depth, color, and infrared images. Intel RealSense depth camera D415 combines Intel’s latest depth-sensing hardware and software into a highly configurable, easy-to-integrate solution that includes vision processors, turnkey modules, cameras, software development kits (SDKs), and computer vision libraries.
