Accurate Similarity Measures for Silhouettes Recognition
In this paper, we propose a new method to recognize silhouettes of objects. Models of silhouettes are stored in the database using their textual descriptors. Textual Descriptors are written following the part-based method published in (Larabi et al, 2003). The main issue with the textual description is its sensitiveness to noise, in order to overcome this issue, we have applied (Aouat and Larab...
متن کاملExtraction of Encumbered Anthropometric Measures from Whole-Body Scan Data
Accurate capture of encumbered anthropometry is critical to ensure that the analysis and design of military platforms and workspaces account for the additional space required for clothing and PPE equipment. To examine the effect of encumbrance on spatial claim, a method was developed to obtain scan-extracted measures from detailed whole-body shape data. This analysis focused on comparing cross-...
متن کاملRegional body composition in college-aged Caucasians from anthropometric measures
BACKGROUND Quantitating fat and lean tissue in isolated body regions may be helpful or required in obesity and health-outcomes research. However, current methods of regional body composition measurement require specialized, expensive equipment such as that used in computed tomography or dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Simple body size or circumference measurement relationships to body ...
متن کاملA Passive Full Body Scanner Using Shape from Silhouettes
This contribution describes a camera-based approach to fully automatically create 3D models of persons. A setup of sixteen digital cameras is used to capture the images of the person to be scanned. Using a monochromatic background and the shape-from-silhouette approach a 3D model is created automatically. Using the original images the models are realistically textured. In future 3D tele presenc...
متن کاملEstimating body mass from silhouettes: testing the assumption of elliptical body cross-sections
—In computational studies of the body mass and surface area of vertebrates, it is customary to assume that body cross-sections are approximately elliptical. However, a review of actual vertebrate cross-sections establishes that this assumption is not usually met. A new cross-sectional model using superellipses is therefore introduced, together with a scheme that allows estimates to be given wit...
