“…While earlier studies have referred to 3D Body Scanning as being accurate [8], [11], [12], [16], this study is the first academic investigation into the reliability of the technology against allowable error from the best available guidance. In contrast to the earlier research and technical documents [27] that represents the technology as having a single answer of reliable to ± , the reality is that 3D Body Scanning's reliability is relative to the measurement being taken and the application it is being applied to.…”

“…However, only limited number of body measurements were included in the sample, and the results were not compared against industrial use Proceedings of 3DBODY.TECH 2017 8th International Conference and Exhibition on 3D Body Scanning and Processing Technologies, Montreal, Canada, 11-12 Oct. 2017 allowances and this have limited context to practical application. Besides this, Han et al [16] found that in 14 comparative measurements the difference between scan and manual measurements exceeded the ISO 20685 allowable error limits. Therefore, for use of 3D Body Scanning within scientific research, ergonomic product development, and garments for fit the reliability of the technology as measurement tools must be quantified and verified.…”

Abstract3D Body Scanning provides access to a greater breadth and depth of anthropometric data for industry applications and scientific research than at any other point in history. However, while the potential of this technology for revolutionising industrial and scientific practices has been established, little exists addressing its appropriateness in terms of reliability within recognised allowable error. To address this issue, this study investigates the degree to which 3D Body Scanning can produce reliable anthropometric measurements for use in garment construction and scientific research. 27 participants were repeatedly scanned using a SizeStream Body Scanner five consecutive times to find out the variation in reliability between instances of data capture. The variance to three Standard Deviations was then compared to established allowable error guidelines to assess suitability of the measurements attained. The main outcome of this study is that 3D Body Scanning can achieve suitable reliability to be used in garment construction, tailoring, and scientific research; providing 99.73% confidence in the suitability of extracted dimensions in 49% of the most commonly used body measurements. However, other measurements achieved less exceptional reliability, and therefore use of traditional measurement methods need to be considered carefully when generating tailored garments or comparing anthropometric data sets from 3D Body Scanners. As a consequence of this study, 3D Body Scanning shows suitable reliability for most garment construction and anthropometric research tasks.

“…These differences were explained as being due to the positioning of site markers used in the study and difficulties making horizontal measurements with the tape measure. Recent papers have addressed the issues of accuracy with location of landmarks (Kouchi & Mochimaru, 2010), constant body ratio benchmarks (Wang & Chao, 2010) as well as comparing the data collected using traditional methods against those obtained using body scanners (Han et al, 2010;Feathers et al, 2004). Kouchi and Mochimaru (2010) discuss the fact that body dimensions are based on body landmarks, but that the amount of error in identifying landmarks is not well known.…”

With advances in technology it is now possible to collect a wide range of anthropometric data, to a high degree of accuracy, using 3D light-based body scanners. This gives the potential to speed up the collection of anthropometric data for design purposes, to decrease processing time and data input required, and to reduce error due to inaccuracy of measurements taken using more traditional methods and equipment (anthropometer, stadiometer and sitting height table). However, when the data collection concerns older and/or physically impaired people there are serious issues for consideration when deciding on the best method to collect anthropometry. This paper discusses the issues arising when collecting data using both traditional methods of data collection and a first use by the experimental team of the TC 2 3D body scanner, when faced with a 'non-standard' sample, during an EPSRC funded research project into issues surrounding transport usage by older and physically impaired people.

“…However, body size remains rigid during the scanning process (Han et al 2010), a fact that explains why the readings obtained by the 3D body scanner and manually differed ( Table 1). The risk of tissue constriction and incorrect alignment could be also another reason of lower reading obtained through manual measurement.…”
