A method for generating a series of images of objects defined as a human or animal body, each object having predetermined image parameters, by means of a partly automated imaging system for documenting an initial state of the body before a medical or aesthetic procedure or a treatment and for documenting the further development of the body after the procedure or treatment, the imaging system comprising a data bank, an imaging unit, a computing unit, a storage unit and an output unit, the method comprising the following steps: a) selecting a picture series presetting comprising a plurality of predefined groups of image parameters of an object from a databank, the corresponding imaging parameter group having a certain part of the body to be imaged, a certain spatial orientation of the body to be imaged with respect to the imaging unit, a certain posture of the body to be imaged and/or a plurality of parameters of an imaging unit as an imaging parameter; ― detecting the arrangement on a floor mat by means of a measuring device of the imaging system and using the determined arrangement of the floor mat with respect to the imaging system for adjusting the groups of imaging parameters of the image series presetting; b) outputting at least one image parameter to be set manually of the corresponding group on the output unit and positioning of the object on the floor mat according to the at least one output imaging parameter; c) generating an image by means of the imaging unit; d) transferring the image to the computing unit; e) evaluating the image in regard of at least one manually set image parameter by means of the computing unit, image data of the image being evaluated in the form of individual pixels and their arrangement with respect to each other for the evaluation; f) outputting a notification by means of the output unit (S5') should the evaluation yield that the at least one manually set image parameter does not correlate to the output of the image parameter to be set from method step b); and g) repeating method steps b) to f) for each group of the picture series presetting. a) selecting a picture series presetting comprising a plurality of predefined groups of image parameters of an object from a databank, the corresponding imaging parameter group having a certain part of the body to be imaged, a certain spatial orientation of the body to be imaged with respect to the imaging unit, a certain posture of the body to be imaged and/or a plurality of parameters of an imaging unit as an imaging parameter; ― detecting the arrangement on a floor mat by means of a measuring device of the imaging system and using the determined arrangement of the floor mat with respect to the imaging system for adjusting the groups of imaging parameters of the image series presetting; ― detecting the arrangement on a floor mat by means of a measuring device of the imaging system and using the determined arrangement of the floor mat with respect to the imaging system for adjusting the groups of imaging parameters of the image series presetting; b) outputting at least one image parameter to be set manually of the corresponding group on the output unit and positioning of the object on the floor mat according to the at least one output imaging parameter; c) generating an image by means of the imaging unit; d) transferring the image to the computing unit; e) evaluating the image in regard of at least one manually set image parameter by means of the computing unit, image data of the image being evaluated in the form of individual pixels and their arrangement with respect to each other for the evaluation; f) outputting a notification by means of the output unit (S5') should the evaluation yield that the at least one manually set image parameter does not correlate to the output of the image parameter to be set from method step b); and g) repeating method steps b) to f) for each group of the picture series presetting.
