A Comparison Between Representative 3D Faces Based on Bi- and Multi-variate and Shape Based AnalysisGoto, L. (author), Huysmans, T. (author), Lee, W. (author), Molenbroek, J.F.M. (author), Goossens, R.H.M. (author)In Ergonomic product design, designers need to translate anthropometric data of the target population into product dimensions or sizing systems. Currently, sizing systems are often based on traditional anthropometric data and generally use the variation of one or two key body dimensions directly related to the product. For products that need to...conference paper 2019
