| abstract |
The invention concerns a method for operating a 3D body scanner (104, 401) for generating a 3D body model with the following steps: measuring an installation geometry of the 3D body scanner (104, 401), calculating an optimal scanning distance between a person to be scanned and the 3D body scanner (104, 401) by a control unit on basis of at least the installation geometry and projecting an optical indicator (109, 201, 306) for the person (106, 112, 412) to be scanned on a floor (101, 202, 307, 411) in front of the 3D body scanner (104, 401) at the optimal scanning distance from the 3D body scanner (104, 401) by a position indicator projector (203, 301). Furthermore, the invention concerns a 3D body scanner (104, 401) for generating a 3D body model designed to perform the method for operating the 3D body scanner (104, 401) for generating a 3D body model. |
