Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present a novel method of 3D foot and shoe model matching based on oriented bounding box (OBB) and axis-aligned bounding box (AABB).
Design/methodology/approach
The paper first calculates their OBBs of foot and shoe models; aligns three axial directions of their OBBs to be parallel to three axes of world coordinate system. Then, computes their AABBs of foot and shoe models, translates the center of the bottom face of the foot's AABB to that of the shoe's AABB.
Findings
After the matching, the shoe model could be larger or locally smaller than the foot model. The paper finally adjusts the size of shoe model according to the distance difference.
Originality/value
Experimental results show that this method is simple and feasible which can effectively realize the matching between foot and shoe models.
