Efficient human body 3D capture system for clothing industry

摘要

This article presents the methods developed, evaluated and finally used in the LPMT laboratory as part of a 3D capture and measure system. The aim of this system is to quickly and efficiently capture the shape of a human body and to create a virtual body. This virtual body helps taking measurements that can be used to select the correct sizes in a set of garments or to make special made-to-measure clothes. The biggest problem in this process is to mesh, close and smooth the initial acquired 3D points cloud to obtain the virtual mannequin that is fundamental for the measuring operations.
