Extractions of Garment Manufacturing Data from 3D Whole Body Scans
Abstract
The project is to develop a computer-based, interactive measurement and posture data acquisition system. The system will be implemented as a Microsoft-Windows(95/NT) computer program which accepts 3D whole body scan data and produces manufacturing oriented measurement and posture specifications. For the men's uniform there are approximately 24 different measurements or posture specifications which may be required. For the women's uniform there are approximately 30 different measurements or posture specifications to handle As measurements and posture specifiers are derived, they are "validated" against statistical norms and ranges. The data for these statistical norms on human build resides in the Haas Tailoring anthropomorphic data base of over 8,000 military personnel and over 75,000 members of the general population. These validated measurements and posture specifications will be automatically submitted to a pattern design system to produce a special measure pattern. Systems under considerations are the Haas Tailoring Expert System, the Gerber Garment Made-to-Measure System, and/or other garment CAD systems.
