ASICS had four patents in artificial intelligence during Q4 2023. ASICS Corp filed a patent for a foot shape measurement apparatus that uses foot images captured from multiple angles to generate a 3D model of the foot. The apparatus includes a display controller that shows a target mark indicating the imaging viewpoint position and a state mark indicating the current state in an augmented reality space. An image acquisition unit captures the foot image when the imaging viewpoint satisfies predetermined conditions.

Application: Foot shape measurement apparatus and computer program (Patent ID: US20230342964A1)
The foot shape measurement apparatus described in the patent by ASICS Corp involves using an imaging unit to capture foot images from various angles and generate a three-dimensional model of the foot. This model is then used to output a measurement result. The apparatus includes a display controller that shows a target mark indicating the imaging viewpoint position and a state mark indicating the current state of the imaging viewpoint in augmented reality. The system ensures that the foot image captured satisfies predetermined conditions related to the display state of the target and state marks.
Additionally, the apparatus includes features such as target marks for positioning and tilting the imaging unit, direction suggesting marks, and reference sheets for detecting reference lengths. The model generator utilizes a three-dimensional homology model of an average foot to detect contours and minimize positional differences between the model and detected points. The system also performs convex hull processing to address shape defects and color component recognition for boundary detection. Overall, the apparatus provides a comprehensive solution for accurately measuring foot shape using augmented reality technology.
