3D parametric body model based on Chinese female anhtropometric analysis

Abstract

This study shows a 3D parametric body model construction based on the anthropometric analysis technique. Compared to the traditional anthropometric surveys, the 3D body scanner provides with more accurate body dimension information and not only traditional measurements but also new body shape measurements. An anthropometric survey was completed to collect 3D body information of Hong Kong female. A serious of 3D models was built upon these 3D scan data. A number of body dimensions and body shape information were extracted from the 3D models. Then body shape analysis were performed, such as bust shape analysis, front and back proportion analysis, body cross section comparison, correlation relationship between body dimensions and so on. Upon the analysis of the body information, a parametric body model was built, which was in a most common body shape of the Hong Kong female and able to change critical body demotions according to the user's inputs. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
