Body Measurements Extraction from 3D Scanner Data

Abstract

The growing power of computing, development of methods of 3D graphics for human body modeling and simulation together with development of 3D image capture technologies using 3D scanners has caused rapid development of digital tailoring - a complex of methods where made-to-measure clothing is produced starting with 3D scanning of a customer, extraction of essential measurements from obtained data cloud and then automatic production of a garment corresponding to exact measures of the customer. Extraction of exact measures from the ca 200000 data points produced by 3D scanner is a complex problem and not yet well investigated.
