ASICS had two patents in metaverse 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 of the imaging viewpoint 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 patent filed by ASICS Corp. describes a foot shape measurement apparatus that utilizes augmented reality to generate a three-dimensional model of a subject's foot. The apparatus includes components such as an imaging unit, display controller, image acquisition unit, model generator, and result outputter. The display controller superimposes target and state marks on the visual being captured by the imaging unit to guide the imaging procedure. The model generator uses a three-dimensional homology model to detect contours from foot images and minimize positional differences to create an accurate representation of the foot shape.
Additionally, the apparatus incorporates features like target marks indicating imaging viewpoint positions, direction suggesting marks, and reference sheets for accurate measurements. The model generator prioritizes points to be measured and performs convex hull processing to enhance accuracy. The patent also covers the use of a computer program to execute functions related to setting the augmented reality space, displaying guide objects, acquiring foot images, generating three-dimensional models, and outputting measurement results. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive system for precise foot shape measurement using advanced imaging technology and augmented reality.
