Abstract
This paper presents a digital human modeling pipeline with support from a 3D anthropometry database. The database is derived from the 2012 anthropometric survey of US Army personnel (ANSUR II) and provides search capabilities to query traditional anthropometric measurements and three-dimensional (3D) shape. The query results, which contain both measurements and 3D scans, facilitate further digital human modeling tasks. This paper first presents the implementation and functionality of this 3D database, then discusses some digital human modeling tasks relying on the query results from the database.
