Construction of 3-D body surface model based on partitioning

By the self-developed 3-D body measurement system,the 3-D body scan line point cloud data can be acquired.For the complexity of the human body surface,if a body surface model is directly constructed,the result may cause arms with torso,left leg with right legs together as one contour,or big errors in the head-shoulder with the arms and the torso and the torso with legs.So the paper first divides the human body surface into six parts based on the shape,then constructs a triangular mesh for each part and puts forward a new method that divides the single contour into multi-contour to establish the triangular mesh between single contour and multi contours of the head-shoulder with the arms and the torso and the torso with legs.Finally,the triangular mesh surface model of the entire human body is constructed.
