Estimating the Residual Space between the Surfaces of Clothing and Human Body

Abstract:

This paper presented a method for measuring the residual space between clothing and human body based on 3D scanning devices. In data collecting procedure, the 3D scanning devices were used to collect original point cloud of apparels and human body. The Geomagic software was used to process the noise reduction and surface reconstruction. In measuring procedure, the volume was calculated by algorithm. Therefore, we can get the value of the residual space between clothing and human body.These residual space is called air gap. Thickness of the air gap is closely related to thermal insulation properties [1] and thermal wet comfort performance of clothing. Meanwhile, the stress levels of apparels on human body can be determined through observation [2], so this technology can be used in the field of fashion design. In addition, 3D virtual try-on system is one of the applications with important value [3].
