A remote, on‐line 3‐D human measurement and reconstruction approach for virtual wearer trials in global retailing

A powerful 3‐D system has been developed for on‐line 3‐D human measurement and reconstruction that interferes with a SQL Server database for virtual wearer trials in global retailing. In this research, 3‐D body profiles have been captured and analysed using an on‐line image measurement and processing system developed in this research and then stored in the database system. A parametric geometric human model has been devised with an effective search algorithm that utilises body measurements obtained on‐line or retrieved from the database. A SQL server database system has been constructed with user friendly interfaces which enables users to collect, manage and analyse all related information including human body images.
