Analysis of body measurements using a 3D contactless scanning method

Abstract

This research work concerns analysing the results of tests performed using apparatus for the contactless measurement of human body (Anthroscan 3D VITUS Smart). The applicability of measurement types in clothing design was the criterion of its selection. Traditional ways of measurements use an engaging and laborious manual method. However, 3D scanning of the human body surface can provide more measurements in a significantly shorter amount of time in comparison with the manual method. Moreover, new technologies of the 3D complete body scanning make possible to gain the 3D image of the human body surface. In this paper, we describe the analysis of the human body using a 3D scanner owned by the Textile Research Institute. © AUTEX.
