Feature based data structure for computer manikin
First Claim
1. A feature based data structure for computer manikin comprising:
- A multiple geodetic longitudinal feature lines including the main vertically directed feature lines, interpolating between any two neighboring main feature lines;
The main longitudinal feature lines at least containing one or more of the front centerline, left front princess line, left sideline, left back princess line, back centerline, right back princess line, right side line, and the right front princess line;
The multiple geodetic latitudinal feature lines including the main horizontally directed girth lines, interpolating between any two neighboring main girth lines; and
The main latitudinal feature lines at least containing one or more of the shoulder-neck line, armpit girth line, bust line, under-bust line, waistline, spinal-waistline, high-hip line, hip line, and the crotch girth line.

Abstract
This invention proposes a feature based data structure for computer manikin that is constructed from the scanned data of common 3D body scanners. The scanned data is first segmented into six parts and then encoded into range images. Feature recognition algorithms are developed and coded into computer algorithms. The software system can automatically recognize the important human feature points and feature curves. The computer manikin is constructed based on the interpolation between the feature curves. The manikin has geodetic latitudinal and longitudinal curves that pass through the geometric feature points of human body. The geodetic coordination contains all the important features that can be extracted as needed for apparel or ergonomic design, medical researches, and movie amusement industry.
