A Comparison of Accuracy of 3D Handheld Scanner Between Mannequin and Live Model

---

Abstract

There has been a growing interest in entry-level 3D handheld scanners since they are affordably priced for individual purchase and their level of precision is improving. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the accuracy of anthropometric data from both mannequins’ and human subjects’ scans acquired with Occipital’s Structure Sensor scanner, as a representation for entry-level handheld scanners. The dimensional accuracy of the scanner was analyzed using mannequin scans by comparing the difference between the scan-derived measurements and the direct measurements with the ISO 20685 criteria. The handheld scanner had a problem that the length of the legs is reduced in scanning, but most of the scanning operations between the neck and crotch level conducted accurately in general. Then, this study assessed whether the scanner is suitable for capturing real human body. The errors found could be considered as an acceptable amount for the use of garment patternmaking.
