“…BSA estimation formula is generally determined by one's height and weight, and many efforts have been made to find more accurate estimation. Recently, new BSA estimation formulas have been proposed by using 3D scanned human data [7][8][9]. Lee and Choi [10] compared alginate method and 3D body scanning in measuring BSA.…”

An efficient surface area evaluation method is introduced by using smooth surface reconstruction for three-dimensional scanned human body data. Surface area evaluations for various body parts are compared with the results from the traditional alginate-based method, and quite high similarity between the two results is obtained. We expect that our surface area evaluation method can be an alternative to measuring surface area by the cumbersome alginate method.

Precise calculation of total body surface area (TBSA) or premarked surface areas (P-MSAs) is of great importance in many biomedical applications. The aim of the paper was to present a simple procedure of measurement of P-MSAs in small animals and to determine a more accurate Meeh's constant (k), for a commonly used weight range of laboratory rats. A series of 30 Wistar rats, weighing 195 -240 g, were anaesthetized and weighted. The TBSA of each animal was measured using a clear pocket and a planimeter. The data obtained were entered into the Meeh's formula (TBSA ¼ kW 2/3 ), the most commonly used for small experimental animals, so that a k value for each animal as well as a mean k value (9.83) were obtained. The TBSA of the animals was also calculated using the aforementioned mean k value and compared with that obtained using k values reported in previous studies. According to our findings, the new mean k value, determined with the use of our procedure of surface area measurement, ensured greater accuracy in the determination of the TBSA of experimental rats of a specific weight range. We also suggest a new procedure of surface area measurement which is easy, accurate and does not require animal sacrifice.

Abstract-3-D human body models are used in a wild spectrum of applications, such as film and entertainment industry, that require images of human replicas, but the computer generated models of human body generally do not adequately model the complex human morphology. These models do not reflect the realistic anthropometric data and are not specific enough for commercial use. This paper presents an approach to adjust virtual mannequins through the use of anthropometric measurement data, which are obtained from 2-D image-base measurement. In this approach, a novel method which used the Chinese medicine acupuncture theory for fast position locating and human body slice model to approach circumferences is proposed to 2-D image-based anthropometric measurement. The measurement data are used in grouping 3-D scanned body objects into clusters. The virtual mannequins are then adjusted by using the measurement data of the standard model that belong to its cluster. In this way, the realistic accurate virtual mannequins are created.
