Coudert et al.[13]

NA/NA

NA/NA

Technique requires spraying foot with paint or adding sock

Jezersek & Mazina [14]

0.2 mm/NA

0.4 mm/NA

The system requires several specialized camera-projector-mirror systems

Jezersek et al.[16]

0.5 mm/NA

NA/NA

Similar to Jezersek & Mazina, the system requires expensive specialized equipment

Kouchi et al.[17]

0.5 mm/NA

2.0 mm/NA

System only measures 4 cross-section areas of the foot, which need to be manually marked on the foot surface

Schmeltzpfenning et al.[18]

NA/NA

NA/NA

Camera-projector systems work sequentially thus reducing the acquisition frequency

Mochimaru et al.[20]

NA/NA

NA/NA

Matching random pattern is computationally expensive and can create unpredictable errors

Yoshida & Kouchi [21]

NA/NA

4.0 mm/NA

System uses one generic model for all foot reconstructions; shape deformations during walking cannot be fully accounted by the generic model

Liu et al.[22]

0.25 mm/NA

NA/NA

System provides good visual results, but lacks proper experiments with real feet

Blenkinsopp et al.[25]

NA/NA

NA/NA

Reconstruction is based on painted artifacts on the foot surface
