Study Apparel Made to Measure Based on 3D Body Scanner

Abstract

Fit is an important standard of a consumer to evaluate an apparel product. Many developed nations have already begun the study on E-MTM (Electronic Made to Measure) system currently. The base and key of the MTM is the 3D body measurement system (BMS). In this paper, we choose the figure model of VRML format to extract sets of the intersection points of the figure model and given plains with the height defined as the characteristic sections height from the output of [TC]2 in ORD format, calculate the areas of figure characteristic sections and the ratio of the girth to area. The round or flatter type of figure can be judged by quantitative analysis for apparel personal design and manufacture.
