  • Publication number: 20230315933
    Abstract: The swiveling table system comprises a 3D sensor and a swiveling table device disposed on a base having a central turntable and a lifting platform. The central turntable includes a central tray and a central rotation column coupled with the central tray for rotating the central tray. The lifting platform includes an outer ring tray and a lifting column coupled with the outer ring tray for lifting the outer ring tray. The outer ring tray and the central tray are coplanar. When a fabric is placed on the coplanar and the lifting column is controlled to lower the outer ring tray in a free-fall manner, the central rotating column rotates the central tray and the 3D sensor captures a rotating image of the fabric to build a 3D model of the fabric.

  • Publication number: 20180018779
    Abstract: A method for determining posture-related information of a subject using the subject's image is provided. The method comprises: determining, from a first image, first positions of a first pair of joints and a first body segment length of a first body segment associated with the first pair of joints; determining, from a second image, second positions of a second pair of joints and a second body segment length of a second body segment associated with the second pair of joints; determining, based on an algorithm that reduces a difference between the first and second body segment lengths, whether the first and second pairs of joints correspond to a pair of joints; If the first and second pairs of joints are determined to correspond to a pair of joints, determining, based on the second positions, information of a posture of the subject; and providing an indication regarding the information.
