Human Body Modelling by Development of the Automatic Landmarking Algorithm The State of the Art and concept of Ph.D. Thesis

In this work, I describe the methodology of automatic computer-based measurement for taking anthropometric data. The result of this process can be employed in many areas, e.g. security, medicine, sport or clothing industry. The designed methodology comes out from the demand to create, from the measured person’s view, the least annoying system of the measurement. It must be simple (cheap and portable) as much as possible from the operating personnel’s view. The proposed methodology comes out from the model of human body. Several potential sources of problems are discussed and some possible solutions are proposed. Complex system can be created when we solve these problems completely. This problem is currently being solved at a number of world workplaces. Efficiency of the proposed methodology is being verified on the use case of the clothing industry.
