Techniques for dressing animated virtual human body

Abstract

Former researches have explored the possibilities of making the simulation of dressing up a human

body by creating a general 3D model from the measurements input by the user. However the

resulted body model is not able to present uniqueness of different bodies which makes the

simulation less realistic.

Instead, human models from 3D scanning of real human with different poses will do the job better.

To deform the human body model, it requires skeleton generation. An algorithm is proposed

especially for human body models. A Reeb Graph is firstly generated to identify parts of the model

and then joints are estimated using unique human body ratio and dot product. The outcome would

be a complete curve skeleton by connecting the critical points and the joints added with straight

lines to simulate the bone in real human body.
