Human body measurement with the iPhone 12 Pro LiDAR scanner

Abstract

This article presents a study of the capabilities of the world's first mass-produced mobile device with an integrated LiDAR scanner, the iPhone 12 Pro, for scanning the human body. The analysis of modern software for working with the 3D sensor iPhone 12 Pro is carried out, their features and disadvantages are revealed. The possibility of constructing a 3D model of a tailor's mannequin from a point cloud obtained directly from a scanning device through the iOS Software Development Kit has been investigated. The accuracy of measuring the dimensional characteristics of a human figure using a 3D model is estimated. The quality of the iPhone 12's 3D sensor was assessed by analyzing the raw 3D sensor data using 3D design software MesLab and Rinoceros.
