Generation and Manipulation of H-Anim CAESAR Scan Bodies

November 19, 2007
Author(s)
Qiming Wang, Sanford P. Ressler
In this paper we present a procedure to create animated human models compliant with the H-Anim specification from 3D CAESAR scan bodies, which were captured using a whole body scan device. We also present a VRML prototype of an ¿Animated CAESAR Viewer¿ to

Retrieval and Clustering from a 3D Human Database based on Body and Head Shape

August 11, 2006
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Sanford P. Ressler
In this paper, we describe a framework for similarity based retrieval and Clustering from a 3D human database. Our technique is based on both body and head shape representation and retrieval based on similarity of both of them. The 3D human database used

A Tool Kit to Generate 3D Animated CAESAR Bodies

October 1, 2005
Author(s)
Quandou (. Wang, Sanford P. Ressler
The Civilian American and European Surface Anthropometry Resource (CAESAR) database provides a comprehensive source for body measurement in numerous industries such as apparel, aerospace, and automobile. Generating animated CAESAR body sequences from still

WEAR: World Engineering Antropometry Resource Website

October 1, 2005
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler
This paper demonstrates that, for large-scale tests, the match and non-match similarity scores have no specific underlying distribution function. The forms of these distribution functions require a nonparametric approach for the analysis of the fingerprint

Similarity Based Retrieval from a 3D Human Database

Afzal A. Godil, Sanford P. Ressler
In this paper, we describe a framework for similarity based retrieval from a 3D human database. Our technique is based on both body and head shape representation and retrieval based on similarity of both of them. The 3D human database used in our study is

Human Identification from Body Shape

October 1, 2003
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Patrick J. Grother, Sanford P. Ressler
In this paper, we investigate the utility of static anthropometric distances as a biometric for human identification. The 3D landmark data from the CAESAR database is used to form a simple biometric consisting of distances between fixed rigidly connected

A Web3D Based CAESAR Viewer

August 26, 2002
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler, Qiming Wang
The CAESAR (Civilian American and European Surface Anthropometry Resource) project completed in 2002 has collected 3D scans of over 5000 subjects. We have created a 3D interface, the NIST CAESAR Viewer (NCV), utilizing the Virtual Reality Modeling Language

A Web-based 3D Glossary for Anthropometric Landmarks

August 1, 2001
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler
We have created a visual 3D anthropometric landmark glossary usable over the Web. Implemented using VRML, the Virtual Reality Modeling Language, users may easily locate and determine the names of these landmarks. Landmarks are visualized as small spheres
