Abstract: A method is provided for visualization of three-dimensional objects on a person. Electro-magnetic radiation is emitted toward a person. Electro-magnetic radiation reflected by the person is received and processed to obtain a three-dimensional representation in a form of an elevation profile of the person. If the elevation profile has a detected surface with a reflection coefficient that is different from a reflection coefficient of at least one neighboring surface and the detected surface has a stepped transition toward at least one neighboring surface, then the object characterized by the detected surface is projected onto a photographic representation of the person in the place where the detected surface has been detected.
