Method and apparatus for scanning feet for the purpose of manufacturing orthotics and other footwear

Measurements for corrective footwear, orthopedics, and orthotics have traditionally been obtained through three-dimensional casts of a foot. Digital technology opens an avenue of utilizing a digital image in place of the cast. Using a single or dual flatbed scanner and a computer, all the data required to construct a corrective device may be obtained from a scan or scans of the foot. Observed features and color variations, as well as physical measurements are used to overcome imperfections of a patient's foot.

Intelligent color to texture converter

A method for preserving color information in a black and white version of a color image includes the analysis of the color image. The analysis comprises a search for conflicting colors. Conflicting colors are colors that are normally transformed to the same gray level in a black and white version of the image. One embodiment, working in a CIELAB color space includes the use of a three dimensional histogram for detecting predominant colors having the same luminance. Such colors are classified as conflicting colors. Modulations are added to the gray scale versions of conflicting colors in order to make them distinguishable. Modulation is only applied to conflicting colors thereby minimizing any deleterious effect and allowing the method to be applied in a “walk up mode” of an image processor. An image processor operative to perform the method includes an image analyzer operative to find and classify conflicting colors in the color image, and a gray scale modulator operative to add modulations to gray scale versions of only the conflicting colors within a gray scale version of the color image.

Moisture sensor with capacitive moisture measuring element and method of determining air humidity

In a method of determining air humidity, a corrected moisture signal is calculated for a moisture signal (Hi) ascertained from electrical properties of a capacitive moisture measuring element. In a measuring phase (30) with rising relative air humidity (RH), the corrected moisture signal is the current moisture signal (Hi) increased by a correction value, whereas in a measuring phase (31) with falling relative air humidity (RH) the corrected moisture signal is the current moisture signal (Hi) reduced by a correction value. Depending on the respective properties of the moisture measuring element and the required degree of measuring accuracy, the correction value is constant or is taken into consideration in dependence on the relative air humidity RH. This method provides a higher level of measuring accuracy with a moisture sensor equipped with the moisture measuring element.
