Torso System


Digitizing a torso can be a challenge without the proper tools. When
digitizing a torso, that’s the part of your body below your neck and above
your waist, the most effective products will be the Capturor [Medium Field].
Note; the [Medium Field] is not a standard option. Contact InSpeck for
technical information.

A clear advantage provided by these systems is that acquisition time is 
reduced from a few minutes (single) to a few seconds (Multi Head). The 
speed users get by combining multiple units together allows them to 
digitize a torso even though the subject’s breathing can deform it. This 
would otherwise be impossible with a single digitizer.


                                 WHAT CONFIGURATION IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

One of InSpeck’s digitizer’s great advantages is their configuration 
flexibility due to its Multi Head systems. Users can either use them in 
single or multiple camera configurations.

SINGLE:   One digitizer can effectively be used to capture one view of the 
              torso. However, it quickly becomes difficult to get good results if 
              a complete torso acquisition is needed as the subject cannot 
              hold his breath during the few minutes it would take to capture 
              the many views required.

MULTI:    A multiple digitizer configuration consists of 2 or more 3D 
              Capturor digitizers linked together.  A single shot is needed to 
              capture data and it is not necessary to have overlap between 
              cameras because of the calibration process that is done before 
              digitizing. There is also no need for registration/alignment due 
              to previous calibration. Note: Calibration only needs to be done 
              when configuration setup is changed.

Users will appreciate the time saved using Multi Head configurations and 
the scalable aspect of InSpeck’s systems. If the user has budget issues, 
InSpeck offers a modular approach consisting of purchasing one digitizer 
at a time and scaling up afterwards. Another benefit for users is that not 
only can they use their digitizers together but also individually depending 
on their projects.


                                 SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES

Partial: Two digitizers would be ideal to capture the front or the back of a 
torso in a single acquisition. Otherwise, in theory, with a single digitizer you 
would need three views and then stitch them together. However, as 
mentioned above, due to the subject’s breathing this approach is not 
practical. Thanks to the calibration target, the two views are already 
aligned together making the merging process a breeze. Acquisition time: 
Less than one (1) second.

Complete 360° torso: When a complete torso is needed, a configuration of 
four digitizers will capture 360° in a single acquisition. Acquisition time: 
Less than three (3) seconds.
