Abstract

This open dataset is subject to CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 License. The dataset is intended for scientific research purposes and it cannot be used for commercial purposes. The authors encourage users to use it for public research and as a testbench for private research. Please note that any promotional/marketing material built upon this dataset should be backed by publicly available description of the work leading to the promotional/marketing claims.

This dataset was gathered by the IEEE IC 3DBP working group.

The experimental study was conducted in two phases. Phase 1 was carried out in December 2018 in Portland, Oregon (USA), and Phase 2 in October 2019 in Valencia (Spain). Participants were selected to represent a wide range of body heights and weights. Each subject had 11 body measurements collected twice by different measuring stations (3D scanning booths, smartphone apps, and traditional anthropometry experts). Phase 1 included two 3D scanners—Vitus bodyscan (Human Solutions GmbH) and SS20 (Size Stream LLC)—and four experts. Phase 2 included two 3D scanners: MOVE4D (Instituto de Biomecánica) and Portal MX (Texel LLC); four smartphone apps: 3D avatar body (Instituto de Biomecánica), SS(at)Home (Size Stream LLC), 3DLOOK (3DLOOK Inc.), and eM+ (PolyU); and two experts. A total of 133 subjects participated in the study. Participants were selected to represent a wide range of body heights and weights. Each subject had 11 body measurements collected twice by each measurer and measuring technology.

This unique dataset contains more than 14000 measurement points and more than 1100 anonymous 3D body scans gathered by five experts, four full body scanners, and four phone apps. This dataset can be used for future analyses and studies, including segmentation by age, gender, or body mass index (BMI).
