Why is it important?
The waist is one of the most important body measurement for the design and manufacturing of clothes. As 3D Body Scanning becomes more important in the design of clothes and the products we buy, automatic and accurate location of
Perspectives
This paper established one of the fundamental methodologies we use in our ergonomic and anthropometric research within the Apparel Design Engineering research group. Every paper relating to 3D Body Scanning I have published since this paper has used it and the result has been higher precision in my research and more appropriateness of outputs for industry.
