A method for automated landmark extraction from three-dimensional whole body scanned data extracts feature points as landmarks from a plurality of point clouds obtained from a three-dimensional whole body scanner, without pre-making the landmarks on a human body before scanning. The system includes: (1) Silhouette analysis, which projects three-dimensional body scanned data onto a two-dimensional surface and observes the variations in curvature and depth; (2) Minimum circumference, which uses the variations of the circumference of body parts to define the locations of the landmarks and feature lines; (3) Gray-scale detection, which converts the color information of human body from RGB values into gray-scale values to locate the landmarks with greater variations in brightness; and (4) Human-body contour plot, which simulates the sense of touch to locate landmarks by finding the prominent and concave parts on the human body.

A contour mapping system useful as a spine analyzer includes a probe for application to a user's hand with the outer tip of at least one finger of the hand movable along the outer surface of the person's spine or other object whose contour is to be mapped. A position sensor carried by the probe is movable with the user's finger as the finger moves along the outer surface of the object. The system tracks and displays the movements of the position sensor as the probe is moved with the user's hand along the outer surface of the object. An ultrasonic transducer may be combined with the position sensor on the same probe and used to examine particular vertebrae, such as apex vertebrae, for rotation and/or deformation.

A method for determining the likely range and depth of an acoustically radiating source in which characteristics are used from hypothetical ranges and depths.

A method for producing video simulations uses two-dimensional HDR images and LIDAR optical sensor data to deliver a photo-realistic simulated sporting event experience to a display. The playing environment is mapped using a data collection process that includes contour mapping the environment, photographing the environment, and associating the images with the contour mapping data. Preferably, the HDR camera is used in conjunction with a differential global positioning system that records the position and heading of the camera when the photo is taken. A polygon mesh is obtained from the contour data, and each image is projected onto a backdrop from the perspective of a simulated camera to create a set, which is then stored in a set database. The simulated environment is created by selecting the set needed for the simulation and incorporating simulation elements into the set before rendering the simulated camera's view to the display.
