“…The Cyberware 3D scanner defined the measurement as the sum of the distances separating successive points from the torso segment that lies on or near a parallel place to the X axis that passes through the right and left bust points. For the SYMCAD 3D scanner, the "chest girth" (bust measurement) is defined as the horizontal perimeter measured at the average height of the most prominent points of each breast while breathing normally (Simmons and Istook, 2003).…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a method for measuring breast size from three-dimensional (3D) body scan image data.Background: Previous bra studies established reference points by directly contacting the subject's naked skin to determine the boundary of the breast. But some subjects were uncomfortable with these types of measurements. This study examined noncontact methods of extracting breast reference points from 3D body scan data that were collected while subjects were wearing standardized soft bras.Method: 3D body scan data of 32 Korean women were analyzed. The subjects were selected from the Size Korea 2010 study. The breast landmarks were identified by graphic analyses of slicing contour lines on 3D body scan data.Results: Three methods determining bra cup size were compared. The M1 and M2 methods determined cup size by calculating the difference between bust girth and under-bust girth. The M3 method determined bra cup size by measuring breast arc length. Conclusion:The researchers proposed an anthropometric bra cup sizing system with the breast arc length (M3 method). It was measured from the geometrically defined landmarks on the 3D body scan slicing contour lines. The new bra cup size was highly correlated with breast depth. Application:The noncontact measuring method used in this study can be applied to the ergonomic studies measuring sensitive body parts.

“…Body measurements can be taken manually or on a digitised human body. Depending on the applied measurement technique, diff erences in the volume of a body ranging from 0.72 cm to 1.71 cm and differences in body measurements in relation to the height and length of a body can arise [31,32]. In order to take body measurements using a noncontact technique, digitisation with 3D body scanners is used, resulting in a point cloud of human body spatial coordinates.…”

The purpose of clothing is to express an individual's style, and to meet the wearer's protection, functionality and comfort needs. Each of these requirements must be met in order to satisfy human needs and achieve a garment's functionality. Another function of clothing is to hide physical disabilities, if possible. The sitting position is very common in daily life. All clothing should therefore be comfortable in this position, as well. This is particularly important for disabled people who are restricted to the sitting position for their entire life due to their disabilities. These are people who suff er from paraplegia, multiple sclerosis or some injuries, and who have limited mobility using wheelchairs. This paper presents research on improving clothing design, adjusted to the special needs and demands of an individual, through the application of new technologies. In that respect, taking measurements is very important, as is the virtual simulation of garment fi tting as the result of cuts adapted to the sitting position.

“…Anthropometric human body measurement is the basis for obtaining accurate data on human body measures which are necessary for the construction of clothing block patterns [1]. Body measurements using conventional measuring instruments have been increasingly replaced by the use of modern computer technologies, such as various types of 3D body scanners [2,3].…”

The paper presents the research on possibilities of protocol development for automatic computer-based determination of measurements on a 3D body model in defi ned dynamic positions. Initially, two dynamic body positions were defi ned for the research on dimensional changes of targeted body lengths and surface segments during body movement from basic static position into a selected dynamic body position. The assumption was that during body movement, specifi c length and surface dimensions would change significantly from the aspect of clothing construction and functionality of a garment model. 3D body scanning of a female test sample was performed in basic static and two defi ned dynamic positions. 3D body models were processed and measurement points were defi ned as a starting point for the determination of characteristic body measurements. The protocol for automatic computer measurement was defi ned for every dynamic body position by the systematic set of activities based on determined measurement points. The verifi cation of developed protocols was performed by automatic determination of defi ned measurements on the test sample and by comparing the results with the conventional manual measurement.
