Scan posture definition and hip girth measurement: the impact on clothing design and body scanning
@article{Gill2017ScanPD, title={Scan posture definition and hip girth measurement: the impact on clothing design and body scanning}, author={Simeon Gill and Christopher J. Parker}, journal={Ergonomics}, year={2017}, volume={60}, pages={1123 - 1136} }
Abstract Ergonomic measurement is central to product design and development; especially for body worn products and clothing. However, there is a large variation in measurement definitions, complicated by new body scanning technology that captures measurements in a posture different to traditional manual methods. Investigations of hip measurement definitions in current clothing measurement practices supports analysis of the effect of scan posture and hip measurement definition on the…
