AUTOMATED 3-D MODELING OF SHOE PARTS

There is provided a system for analyzing scans of a shoe part to generate dimension data, which is useable to model three-dimensional, 3-D, features of the shoe part. The system comprises a laser, a camera, and a computing device. The system is configured to: project a laser beam onto a first shoe part and a second shoe part; record an image of the projected laser line that depicts a first-segment representation and a second-segment representation; identify a coordinate point of the interface region between the first-segment representation and the second-segment representation; and convert the coordinate point to a geometric coordinate point of the second shoe part. Settings of the camera and/or a color of the laser beam and/or a power level of the laser beam is/are adjusted based on a color of the first shoe part and the second shoe part.
