Claim 12:
13. A method for modeling a human body comprising:
initiating a first scan cycle while a user occupies a scale platform at a first time;
during the first scan cycle:
driving a sensor block comprising an optical sensor along a path above the platform and about the user; and
recording a first sequence of images, via the sensor block, corresponding to a first sequence of capture positions along the path;

calculating a first set of computational transforms that align the first sequence of images;
compiling the first set of images according to the first set of computational transforms to generate a first three-dimensional model of the user for the first time;
initiating a second scan cycle while the user occupies the scale platform at a second time succeeding the first time;
during the second scan cycle:
driving the sensor along the path; and
recording a second sequence of images, via the sensor, corresponding to a second sequence of capture positions along the path;

compiling the second set of images according to the first set of computational transforms to generate a second three-dimensional model of the user for the second time;
detecting a difference in an anatomical feature of the user between the first and second three-dimensional models; and
generating a visualization of the second three-dimensional model annotated to indicate the difference in the anatomical feature.
