INTERACTIVE MODELISATION OF 3D ANTHROPOMETRICAL HUMAN STRUCTURE

Abstract

Highly realistic virtual human models are rapidly becoming commonplace in computer graphics. These models, often represented by complex shape and requiring labor-intensive process, challenge the problem of automatic modeling. This paper studies the problem of an interactive modelisation of 3D anthropometrical human structure. Methods for capturing the shape of real people, parameterization techniques for modeling static shape (the variety of human body shapes) and dynamic shape (how the body shape changes as it moves, or could they change the entire human body for different sort of persons) of virtual humans are the most important actions to obtain an anthropometrical interactive model. Finally, methods for study humans in biomechanical researches are presented by using software dedicated to make an interactive model.
