Abstract

Anthropometric data taken from body scanning serves different purposes in textile and clothing. They are mainly based on the static position of the body collected by not taking the changes of the body geometry during the movements into account, which can affect comfort and fit of any garment. It is of high importance to consider these changes in the body measurements during product development, including for ergonomic purposes. A sensitive application is compression garments that require accurate body measurements in order to provide the right pressure on the surface of the needed body part. High-speed 3D body scanners, known also as 4D body scanners, are a new technology for the fashion industry, which has opened the possibility for improved dynamic in capturing anthropometric data and clothing design. This work presents a methodology of analysis of the data from 4D scanning systems for the application in clothing development. Taking body measurements for every movement is realised through a Matlab® script used to analyse the path length and can be used later for evaluation of the skin deformation.
