Laboratory Methods for a Pilot Study of the U.S. YouthShape Survey of Child and Youth Anthropometry and Physical Capability. MLH Jones, SM Ebert, CS Miller, BKD Park, H Jung, A Wood, LE Robinson, MP Reed.

High-resolution head and face surface data were gathered in a 3dMD system. Head scan data with a range of facial expressions to capture the associated variation in face shape is essential for the design of protective helmets and other head-borne equipment. High-resolution hand size and shape surface data were also recorded to include standardized and functional hand poses, including a flat hand, fist, and various grasps.

Deformation of palmar hand measurements in a power grip by wrist ulnar/radial deviation. H Jung, W Lee, S Moon, H You.

The hand at a straight neutral posture was scanned using the 3dMDhand system. Next, the hand was scanned while in a power grip at each of three wrist postures (20° of radial deviation, neutral, and 30° of ulnar deviation), along with the corresponding palmar hand cast.

Articulated Objects in Free-form Hand Interaction. Z Fan, O Taheri, D Tzionas, M Kocabas, M Kaufmann, MJ Black, O Hilliges.

Date: April 2022. Source: arXiv, doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2204.13662. Objective: We use our hands to interact with and to manipulate objects. Articulated objects are especially interesting since they often require the full dexterity of human hands to manipulate them. To understand, model, and synthesize such interactions, automatic and robust methods that reconstruct hands and articulated objects in 3D…

Posture-Invariant 3D Human Hand Statistical Shape Model. Y Yang, T Yuan, T Huysmans, WS Elkhuizen, F Tajdari, Y Song.

Date: June 2021. Source: ASME Journal of Computing and Information Science in Engineering (JCISE), 21(3): 031006. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4049445. Research Summary: A high-fidelity digital representation of the human body is a key enabler for integrating humans into a digital twin, and the hand is a particularly challenging part of the body to model due to posture deviations…

Statistical Shape and Pose Model of the Forearm for Custom Splint Design. F Danckaers, J Van Houtte, BG Booth, F Verstreken, J Sijbers.

A 3D scan database of 200 healthy subjects (100 men and 100 women) performing hand motions was gathered using a 3dMD scanner. All subjects were scanned performing a movement at a frame-rate of 7.5 fps, resulting in ±100 scans per subject. Based on those scans, a new SSM was built with the help of the artificial SSM.
