3D Surface Anthropometry; Review of Techniques
Imagine yourself walking into a virtual store
without leaving your living room. You select a
garment and try it on a virtual duplicate of
yourself (you view it as if it is on someone else)
to see how you would look. You can even make
your duplicate walk and move just like you do,
and you can see the looseness or tightness of the
fabric. You can change the fabric on the double
in terms of material, pattern, or color. You can
change your accessories to see how it would look
with previous purchases. You can also alter the
garment to get the look or shape you want
When you are finished you place your order
electronically and receive a “custom-fitted”
garment in the mail a few days later.
While this story may sound futuristic, many of
the technologies necessary to make it a reality
have already been developed. One of these is
three-dimensional (3-D) surface anthropometry.
Anthropometry is the study and technique of
human body measurement. Three-dimensional
(3-D) surface anthropometry extends the study
of the human body to 3-D geometry and
morphology of external body tissues. It includes
the acquisition, indexing, transmission,
archiving, retrieval and analysis of body surfaces
and their variability.
New technological advances both in 3-D surface
digitization and other areas such as computer
graphics technology, automated manufacturing,
and electronic communications, are radically
changing the field of anthropometry. This book
attempts to capture the new technology
environment and illustrate the changes and their
impact.
Traditional anthropometric data are collected
using homologous body surface points (e. g.,
anatomical landmarks common to all humans,
regardless of age or race) and simple measures
such as circumferences, breadths, and heights
from individuals and populations.
In the early 1970s the US. Air Force began to
assemble a repository of traditional
anthropometric data from both military and
civilian surveys conducted around the world. It
was originally called the Aerospace Medical
Research Laboratory (AMRL) Anthropometric
Data Bank.
