This article presented a new approach for the research of virtual individualized 3D mannequin. First, the author summarized and analyzed the current research methods and pointed out the shortage of these methods. Second, the author took an example to illustrate the originality of the research method. In this part, the author studied the algorithm of the bust dart and the waist dart distribution...

BACKGROUND Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training has traditionally involved classroom-based courses or, more recently, home-based video self-instruction. These methods typically require preparation and purchase fee; which can dissuade many potential bystanders from receiving training. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of teaching compression-only CPR to previously untrained ...

This paper describes the classification and size-dictionary interpolation of the three-dimensional data obtained by a laser scanner to be used in a realistic virtual fitting room, where automatic activation of the chosen mannequin robot, while several mannequin robots of different genders and sizes are simultaneously connected to the same computer, is also considered to make it mimic the body s...

A great deal of attention has been given lately to illusions of body ownership. Experiments that involve the illusory ownership over an artificial body (Blanke et al., 2002), arm (Botvinick and Cohen, 1998) or finger (Walsh et al., 2011) have revealed much about the physiological underpinnings of these illusions, includingwhich brain areas are involved (see Tsakiris, 2010 for review). Bodily il...

Part assembly path planning consists in computing automatically a collision-free path for the part between a disassembled position and an assembled one. The part is first considered as a freeflying object. We have devised a probabilistic diffusion algorithm specially dedicated to that case. Then, we propose two approaches to add a virtual mannequin in the assembly process. The first one consist...

Modeling of realistic garments is essential for online shopping and many other applications including virtual characters. Most of existing methods either require a multi-camera capture setup or a restricted mannequin pose. We address the garment modeling problem according to a single input image. We design an all-pose garment outline interpretation, and a shading-based detail modeling algorithm...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for simulated maternal cardiac arrest rendered during transport to the operating room with that rendered while stationary in the labor room. We hypothesized that the quality of CPR would deteriorate during transport. METHODS Twenty-six teams composed of 2 providers (obstetricians, nurses, or anesthesiologi...
