A Comparison of Body Measurement Method of 3D Scanning and Manual Method for Female Clothing

บทคัดย่อ

It suffices to say back in the past, for garment measurement, traditional anthropometric methods had generally been selected for fitting garment; however, 3D body scanning systems, nowadays, have been widely accepted and preferred by many scholars and researchers due to its speediness in terms of body size measurement and this could productively be as part of improving fitting garment production process. The purpose of this study was to compare 3D body scanning measurement of sense^TM2 3D scanner and terminology with a traditional anthropometric method in this case, tape measurement. Concerning this research procedures, the experimental work was conducted by determining point marks based on EN 13402-3 standard on the upper part of a female mannequin and capturing mannequin images ten times by sense^TM2 3D scanner and end up by using the Blender software to analysis and compare the body measurement. Based on the data collected from testing, 3D scanner had the Coefficient of Variation (CV%) range approximately 0.10-0.33%, while the measured girth results had CV% double higher than the results from 3D images. Nevertheless, values of body measure results between two methods are significantly close ranging 0.20-0.41% of error. It could be found from the results that 3D scanner was more precise than the tape when measured and this could lead to a conclusion that 3D body scanning method of female body was found to be more accurate in terms of measurement than the traditional anthropometric one.
