Method and apparatus for managing body images by associating them with a 3D body model
This technology relates to a method and apparatus for managing body images by dividing a virtual 3D body model into surface regions and selecting and inputting imaging areas via a user interface to associate them with the body images.
Previously, it was difficult to systematically manage skin and appearance images of various body parts in connection with their specific imaging locations.
To address this, the technology associates captured images with the surface regions of a virtual 3D body model, allowing for intuitive storage, comparison, and management of images by body part.
Key Features:
- A body image management method performed by a computing device that acquires body images including the appearance or skin of at least a portion of a body
- Includes a virtual 3D body model divided into a predetermined number of surface regions that encompass the entire shape or surface of the body
- Provides a first user interface area that allows for the selection of at least one of the surface regions through manipulation of the 3D body model
- Receives input of an imaging area, which is the shape or surface region associated with the body image, and manages the body image by associating it with the 3D model
