What is ISO 20685‑1-Evaluation protocol for body dimensions extracted from 3-D body scans about?

ISO 20685‑1 discusses 3-D scanning methodologies for anthropometric databases. ISO 20685-1 is an international standard on evaluation protocol for body dimensions extracted from 3-D body scans to ensure the comparability of body measurements.

ISO 20685‑1 is the first part of a multi-part series that addresses protocols for the use of 3-D surface-scanning systems in the acquisition of human body shape data and measurements defined in ISO 7250-1 that can be extracted from 3-D scans.

While concerned with whole-body scanners, ISO 20685‑1 also applies to body-segment scanners (head scanners, hand scanners, foot scanners).

Note: ISO 20685‑1 does not apply to instruments that measure the location and/or motion of individual landmarks.

Who is ISO 20685‑1-Evaluation protocol for body dimensions extracted from 3-D body scans for?

ISO 20685‑1 on  evaluation protocol for body dimensions extracted from 3-D body scans is useful for:

• Anthropologists
• Industries that use 3-D scanners to create 1-D anthropometric databases

Why should you use ISO 20685‑1- Evaluation protocol for body dimensions extracted from 3-D body scans?

3‑D scanners generate a 3‑D point cloud of the outside of the human body that can be used for several purposes, such as clothing and automotive design, engineering, and medical applications. There are currently no standardized methods for using 3‑D point clouds in the design process.

ISO 20685‑1 provides you evaluation protocol for body dimensions extracted from the 3-D body that allows you to judge whether the 3‑D system is adequate for needs.

By adopting ISO 20685‑1 the user can ensure that the body measurements obtained from 3‑D systems are sufficiently close to traditional methods and can be substituted for one another without compromising the validity of standards relying on the data.
