The Clarks International "Foot Gauge" is a non-contact sensing system, developed by Clarks International and Sensatech, which measures human feet. This allows for correct shoe fitting and matching suitable footwear to retail customers.
The arrays map each foot and software produces a measurement of each foot.
The two sensor arrays each comprise more than 2000 individual electrodes. Signal processing takes into account that only the sole of the foot is in contact with the mat and the widest and longest parts of each foot are not in direct contact with the sensor array.
Specialist software was created to do the reverse transform on the capacitive data to recreate the shape of the target object.
By including sensor wihtin the carpet or within display stands, a system can record the movements of people through out the retail environment. This would provide analysis of the movement of people from when they enter the shop to when they leave.
Also, capacitive systems can be used as an anti-theft mechanism. Any object will alter the electric field of the sensor. When that object is moved the sensor will respond. Please visit our people detection page for a .
