An Electronic Geometric Model for 3D Scanning of Human Body Segments and Its Use in Prosthetics and Orthotics. Causes of Defects and Methods for Their Elimination

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

3D scanning is widely used in prosthetics and orthotics all over the world. Involuntary movements of the subject, variability of the scanning conditions, and the human factor (operator’s errors) may reduce the accuracy of scanning and disrupt the surface structure of the recorded electronic geometric model, i.e., lead to the appearance of artifacts and defects. The article discusses the main causes of artifacts and makes an attempt at their systematization. Methods for eliminating artifacts during mobile laser non-contact 3D scanning and processing using Autodesk Meshmixer software are described.
