Patent number: 9224032Abstract: A method for analyzing an absorbent article may include providing a three-dimensional computed tomography data set comprising a mannequin image and an article image. The article image may be constructed from projections collected while the absorbent article is fitted to a mannequin. An outer surface of the mannequin image may be identified. A desired distance may be provided. A volumetric demarcation may be spaced the desired distance away from the outer surface of the mannequin image. An image volume may be disposed between the outer surface of the mannequin image and the volumetric demarcation. A relevant portion of the article image may be enhanced using a processor. The relevant portion of the article image may be coincident with the image volume.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2014Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: David John Maltbie, Thomas Edward Dufresne, Joseph Henry Nurre
