Evaluation Method for Simulated Human Motion.

Abstract

Computer generated human figures, called human figure models (HFMs), are being used for human factors design and maintenance analysis on solid models of Department of Defense system designs. The reliability of products from HFM design analyses are dependent on the accuracy of the human model. This paper describes a method for evaluating the accuracy of an HFM compared to real human motion. Although the evaluation is being performed on the HFM in the Design Evaluation for Personnel, Training and Human Factors (DEPTH) system, the method can be applied to any commercially-available HFM.
