In order to avoid distortions due to body movements (e.g. breathing or balance control), it is necessary to scan the entire surface in one pass within a few seconds. Most body scanners commercially available nowadays require several scans to obtain all sides, or they consist of several sensors making them unnecessarily expensive. We propose a new body scanning system, which is able to fully scan a person's body or an object from three sides at the same time. By taking advantage of two mirrors, we only require a single grayscale camera and at least one standard line laser, making the system far more affordable than previously possible. Our experimental results prove efficiency and usability of the proposed setup.}, identifier = {05298261}, }
