Abstract:

Accurate localization of anthropometric landmarks is crucial for processing and analyzing 3-D anthropometric data. For example, landmarks are used to extract dimensional measurements from 3-D scans of human bodies. They can also be used to fit a template model to the scans such that a correspondence across the scans can be established. From this correspondence, we can perform statistical shape analysis to understand the variabilities of human shapes. In this paper, we propose a new method for localizing anthropometric landmarks using a combination of 3-D surface features and the latest deep learning techniques. The method makes use of geometric features represented as descriptor vectors. We first identify a set of locations that exhibit salient geometric features. Then we use pre-registered 3-D models to train a classifier for each geometric landmark. With the geometric landmarks, we fit a template to the data scan. The full set of anthropometric landmarks can be predicted from the template-fitted model. We validate our method using the 2012 Canadian Forces Anthropometric Survey (CFAS) dataset where 2,200 full-body scans were collected.
