3-D surface modelling of the human body and 3-D surface anthropometry
This thesis investigates three-dimensional (3-D) surface modelling of the human
body and 3-D surface anthropometry. These are two separate, but closely related, areas. 3-D surface modelling is an essential technology for representing and describing the surface
shape of an object on a computer. 3-D surface modelling of the human body has wide
applications in engineering design, work space simulation, the clothing industry, medicine,
biomechanics and animation. These applications require increasingly realistic surface
models of the human body. 3-D surface anthropometry is a new interdisciplinary subject. It
is defined in this thesis as the art, science, and technology of acquiring, modelling and
interrogating 3-D surface data of the human body. [Continues.
