This paper presents 3D representation algorithm using mesh net that is suitable for measurement of human shape : 'foot'. The stereo matching is simple method to obtain 3D measurements. But stereo matching problem is recognized as the most difficult step in computer vision. We implemented application that measures foot size with mesh net, and developed stereo matching algorithm using thinning and constrained depth first search. The foot is covered with mesh cloth such as tights and is caught by several consumer digital still cameras. Intersections of mesh are used here for the matching point of stereo images. We adopted thinning process to mesh image for searching intersections.
