Title:  Tech4Diet. RGB-D-Based Framework to Acquire, Visualise and Measure Human Body for Dietetic Treatments.

Abstract:

The “Tech4Diet” project (tech4d.dtic.ua.es) is aimed at improving adherence to dietetic-nutritional treatment using state-of-the-art RGB-D sensors and virtual reality (VR) technology. Recent studies show that adherence to treatment can be improved using multimedia technologies. However, there are few studies using 3D data and VR technologies for this purpose. On the other hand, obtaining 3D measurements of the human body and analyzing them over time (4D) in patients undergoing dietary treatment is a challenging field. This project provides a framework to study the effect of 4D body model visualization on adherence to obesity treatment. The system can obtain a complete 3D model of a body using low-cost technology, allowing future straightforward transference with sufficient accuracy and realistic visualization, enabling the analysis of the evolution (4D) of the shape during the treatment of obesity. The 3D body models are being used for studying the effect of visualization on adherence to obesity treatment using 2D and VR devices. Moreover, we use the acquired 3D models to obtain measurements of the body.
