Research on Parametric Deformation Method Based on Human Body Cross-Sectional Contours

This paper provides a simple and effective parametric modeling method which will simplify the human body model to cross-sectional contours and map selected human body measuring parameters into cross-sectional contours. Deformation functions of different human parts are defined to make deformation on cross-sectional contours. Deformed model is optimized and cross-sectional contours are restructured to triangular grid in order to render the model after deformation. Operations of this method are simple and only 13 commonly-used measuring parameters are needed to obtain targeted human body model with a good sense of reality.
