Three-Dimensional Surface/Contour Processing Based on Electromagnetic Radiation Interrogation

Patent ID: 4584 | Patent Number 7,253,766 | Status: Granted

Abstract

An innovative "3-D" body measurement technology is under developed at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) that is capable of high-speed, full body measurements and has significant advantages over systems that are presently in the market place. This innovative technology uses radar cylindrical holographic techniques that were invented at PNNL (Patent #5.859,609) and a new combined imaging algorithm. A patent application has been filed for this new body measurement system (file # 12574, "Interrogation of an Object for Dimensional and Topographical Information, March 2001). This invention report details new surface synthesis and definition algorithms that were conceived, developed, and tested to obtain the true surface from the 3-D Body Holoscanner Imagery.
