A method for obtaining a spatial pattern of an anatomical structure of a subject includes comprising the steps of a) acquiring, from at least one digital image capturing device, at least one uncalibrated image of a calibration reference applied on a surface configured to receive the subject, the calibration reference having at least one known dimension and defining at least one known direction; b) defining an absolute calibrated reference system of three coordinates based on the calibration reference depicted in the at least one uncalibrated image; and c) acquiring, from the at least one digital image capturing device, at least a first and at least a second calibrated image of a plurality of markers applied on a corresponding plurality of body landmarks of the anatomical structure of the subject at respective contact points with the body landmarks, the plurality of markers being arranged within the absolute calibrated reference system, |
