Abstract:This article presents a fast 3D color full-body capture system, named Avatar 1, which can scan a subject in 1.5 seconds and automatically provide the full-body model within 1 minute. It uses eight self-made structure-of-light scanners which are built based on structured lighting technique and have a measuring accuracy of 1mm. The eight scanners are configured to effectively cover the full-body surface of an adult, four scanners are arranged to capture the head, while four target the body. After calibrating the scanners in the offline step, it can capture the real subject and process all partial scanned data in the same coordinate. Through the global registration and seamless texture stitching steps, it robustly reconstructs a high-quality full-body textured model, which has 1mm geometric accuracy and photo-realistic color information. The experiments demonstrate that Avatar 1 achieves state-of-the-art scanning and processing speed under high-quality result requirement.
