A novel method of analyzing body shapes of people based on three-dimensional (3D) measurements is proposed. The method is to analyze the body shape by combining analysis results of body parts in order to avoid size and posture affecting the results. To this aim, our previous studies have analyzed the trunk, breast, and abdomen of about 500 Japanese women and extracted their shape factors by combining a body shape model and a principal component analysis. The model describes the trunk of a subject with 750 control points on a B-spline surface normalized by seventeen landmarks and enables us to treat the 3D body shape mathematically, including calculation of average shape. The extracted shape factors comprised six of the trunk, four of the breast, and four of ... view moreĀ»
