Estimation of shoulder width and neck girth based on 3-D point cloud data

Abstract

The 3-D point cloud map in the anthropometry has attracted intensive attention due to the availability of fast and accurate laser scan devices. Inevitably, there is a data deviation between 3-D measurement and manual tests. To address this problem, shoulder width and neck girth are accurately determined from 3-D point cloud, the two-scale fractal is used for 3-D point cloud simplification, and young female samples are used in our experiment to show the accuracy.
