TABLE 5. Algorithm V: Heel and Toe Segmentation.

Step Methodology
1 Calculate OBB centroid (Inline graphic).
2 Identify OBB four front corners and four back corners. Inline graphic
3 Calculate centroid of front corners (Inline graphic) and back corners (Inline graphic).
4 From front corners, front left and front right corners are: Inline graphic
5 From back corners, back left and back right corners are: Inline graphic
6 For front, the front left bottom corner has a lower z-axis value and the other is the front left top corner. The same logic is applied to front right corners, back left corners, and back right corners.
7 Calculate foot length, width, and height and validated with average foot dimensions (Inline graphic). Inline graphic
8 OBB toe point is the center of front bottom two points (Inline graphic) and heel point is the center of back bottom two points (Inline graphic).
