What is ISO 20685-2-Evaluation protocol of surface shape and relative landmark positions about?
ISO 20685-2 is an international standard on 3-D scanning methodologies for internationally compatible anthropometric databases that discusses the evaluation protocol of surface shape and repeatability of relative landmark positions to improve the performance of 3-D surface-scanning systems.
ISO 20685-2 is the second part of a multi-part series that addresses protocols for testing 3-D surface-scanning systems in the acquisition of human body shape data and measurements.
ISO 20685-2 applies to body scanners that measure the human body in a single view. When a hand-held scanner is evaluated, it must be noted that the human operator can contribute to the overall error. When systems are evaluated in which the subject is rotated, movement artifacts can be introduced. These can also contribute to the overall error.
ISO 20685-2 also applies to the landmark positions determined by an anthropometrist.
Note1: ISO 20685-2 does not apply to landmark positions automatically calculated by software from the point cloud.
Note2: ISO 20685-2 does not apply to instruments that measure the motion of individual landmarks.
Who is ISO 20685-2-Evaluation protocol of surface shape and relative landmark positions for?
ISO 20685-2 on the evaluation protocol of surface shape and relative landmark positions is useful for:
- 3-D body scanning system manufacturers
- 3-D body scanning system designers
- End-users who create 3-D anthropometric databases
- Quality assurance departments
Why should you use ISO 20685-2-Evaluation protocol of surface shape and relative landmark positions?
Anthropometric measures are key to many International Standards. These measures can be gathered using a variety of instruments. An instrument with a new application to anthropometry is a three-dimensional (3-D) scanner. 3-D scanners generate a 3-D point cloud of the outside of the human body that can be used in several situations including clothing and automotive design, engineering, and medical applications.
ISO 20685-2 provides you with a test protocol for evaluating surface shape measurement, procedures, test protocol for evaluating repeatability of landmark positions, Calculation of quality parameters, evaluation of the hidden area, posture control and measurement, and much more.
The protocols provided by ISO 20685-2 assist you in the evaluation of surface shape and relative landmark positions and ensure the quality control process of body scanners.
With obedience and compliance to ISO 20685-2, you can enhance the efficacy of the 3-D body scanning systems and manufacture a standardized product.
