A controller is configured to generate a three-dimensional reconstruction of the biological body segment based on cross-correlation of captured images from the first and second arrays.

The invention relates to a multifunctional measuring device comprising a housing (1) having an upper shell (2) and a lower shell (3), which are movable relative to one another by means of a hinge mechanism (4) and comprise cavities which correspond to one another, wherein the cavities form a chamber (9) accessible from the outside for receiving a human finger, wherein an optical measuring unit having an optical module (11), which comprises at least one light source (12) and at least one sensor, is arranged in the chamber (9), and means for data evaluation and/or data transfer are integrated in or on the housing. The aim of the invention is to develop a compact, easy-to-handle measuring device of this kind such that it is possible to determine a variety of parameters that can be determined non-invasively by means of the measuring device. Furthermore, statistical methods are intended to be used to make it possible to determine additional parameters that are normally not directly accessible to the non-invasive measurement. To do this, the invention proposes that different sensor systems are integrated in the compact measuring device, in the chamber (9) and/or on the outside of the housing (1).
