Exploratory Study on Developing a Body Measurement Method Using Motion Capture

Abstract

This was an exploratory study on measuring body surface measurement change in motion using a motion capture system. The purpose was to test the reliability of a motion capture system as a new body measurement method, and to investigate body surface measurement changes in motion. Using an optical motion capture system, this study focused on the measurement changes on the back of the body while the subject performed an arm rotation test. The results of this study suggested that the motion capture system can be used as a body measurement method, especially for measuring the body in continuous movement. The results of the body surface measurement change in the arm rotation motion test showed that upper body measurements increased or decreased corresponding to the shoulder joint and scapula movement. The shoulder width (-38.45%), back width (16.08%), and back arc at the armpit (27.69%) exhibited the most change.

Designing for the plus-size men: towards a better fitting: a case of Harare, Zimbabwe

“…By using concurrent triangulation, the study enables the crossvalidation of data by capturing different dimensions of the same phenomenon to gain good understanding from different perspectives of the investigated phenomenon. [35][36][37][38]…”

“…Gerçek faaliyetler sırasında ortaya çıkan doğal hareketler, mevcut çalışmalar için kullanılan kontrollü duruşlardan daha karmaşıktır. Hareket yakalama sistemi kullanarak, gerçek dinamik vücut ölçüm değişikliklerinin ölçülebilmesi için daha doğal ve sürekli hareket algılama gerçekleştirilmelidir [28].…”

Psychophysical testing of garment size variation using three-dimensional virtual try-on technology

“…Several studies used the virtual try-on technology in the actual product development process. Sohn and Bye 7 used the technology to develop fit-to-shape patterns for maternity wear according to the body changes that occur at different stages of pregnancy. The technology enabled them to easily develop patterns for the maternity wear without having to make actual samples.…”
