Human body shapes modeling and feature points location based on ASM for virtual fitting

Human body shape feature points are the key information and basic unit for human body model we are constructing, which performance the difference of body shapes. The purpose of the study is to extract the structural feature factors related to the upper body surface feature points for young females. The 12 feature points of upper body surface were manually confirmed from anthropometric expertise. A total of 31 measurements items, including 3 body surface measurement and 28 photo measurement, were collected for 33 females college students According to the results of correlation analysis, the feature variables of the width, thickness and height dimension based on 12 feature points significantly respectively correlated to the variables of their coordinate orientation, furthermore, the correlated relationship which reflected the width and height features of neck and shoulders shape mainly affected by local skeletal structures. Then, four principle component factors account for upper body shapes of young females, such as width, thickness, height and shoulder shape with characteristic value all over 1, were extracted by the principal component analysis, and the cumulative contribution rate reached 87.387%. Therefore, a total of 8 feature variables sifted from each principle component factor with a loading coefficient over 0.7 as fundamental typical indicators represent the three-dimensional characteristics of body surface feature points reflecting the divergence of body shapes, and it is useful structural information for individual human body modelling.

Aesthetic Procedures

Today’s media disseminate a narcissistic cultivation of beauty and promote a focus mainly on appearance and satisfaction from its improvement. The human body assumes a form in the media that is often impossible to achieve without surgical intervention. When people are in frequent contact with a utopian vision of the perfect body, this can lead to many disorders in both social functioning and self-perception. In extreme cases, striving to preserve beauty and youth may lead to an addiction to aesthetic medicine treatments. It is an increasingly common phenomenon. People who are addicted to treatments improving their beauty or changing their body shapes are not aware of the problem that affects them. They lose their rational judgement and their assessment is far from the opinions of people around them and socially accepted norms. All signs of concern from others are perceived as an attack on their independence and this further deepens their sense of loneliness and isolation from society. With time, undergoing further beautifying procedures becomes the only way they know to achieve a momentary sense of happiness.

Muscle Models

3D morphable models are widely used to describe the variation of human body shapes. However, these models typically focus on the surface of the human body, since the acquisition of the volumetric interior would require prohibitive medical imaging. In this paper we present a novel approach for creating a volumetric body template and for fitting this template to the surface scan of a person in a just a few seconds. The body model is composed of three surface layers for bones, muscles, and skin, which enclose the volumetric muscle and fat tissue in between them. Our approach includes a data-driven method for estimating the amount of muscle mass and fat mass from a surface scan, which provides more accurate fits to the variety of human body shapes compared to previous approaches. We also show how to efficiently embed fine-scale anatomical details, such as high resolution skeleton and muscle models, into the layered fit of a person. Our model can be used for physical simulation, statistical analysis, and anatomical visualization in computer animation and medical applications, which we demonstrate on several examples.

Body Shapes

This chapter critically reviews the traditional notion of embodiment in Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT), arguing that it is characterized by a somewhat inflexible view of the way the human body shapes one’s thinking. Probing more recent developments in CMT, including dynamic systems approaches and cross-cultural studies of metaphor, and confronting these with key theories from phenomenology, psychology, social semiotics, and media theory, the original notion of dynamic embodiment is developed. Accordingly, the degree to which people draw on their own bodies when producing and interpreting metaphors depends not only on the cultural practices and the specific actions in which they are engaged at any given moment, but also on the degree to which they are consciously aware of their physicality, as well as the affordances of the modes and media they are using to communicate.
