Lessons Learned from Caesar: A 3-D Anthropometric Survey

摘要

The CAESAR project (Robinette et al. 2002) was the first anthropometric survey to provide 3-D human models. It was a multi-million dollar collaboration of more than 35 companies, several government agencies, and with representatives from 6 countries. Data were gathered in North America, The Netherlands, and Italy and two different 3-D scanning technologies were used. More than 13,000 3-D scans were provided and 4,431 subjects were measured. Given the complexity of such an undertaking you can imagine the problems that arose. This paper will discuss some of the most important issues, how they were resolved and any changes in how we would do this study if we were to do it over again.
