Simple Technique for Slicing and Segmentation of 3D Avatars Fig: 3D Modelling Application What is a 3D avatar? With the evolution of new technologies, human lifes are getting smarter and easier. Similarly nowadays 3D body scanning technology is evolving and many 3D scanners are now available under reasonable prices with good quality scans. Even now the Apple iPhone has a LiDar scanner which is very convenient and easy to use. Using a 3D scanning application on your smartphone or even by proper 3D scanning device you can scan a digital representation of the object or person. The scan has a point cloud with depth and the color etc. This point cloud can be converted to mesh which can be opened in a 3D modeling application. These scanned 3D models can be consumed by various applications. One of them  is 3D Measure Up which uses a 3D avatar of a human body data to identify landmarks and extract measurements. What is this blog about? In this blog, we discuss a simple technique to slice and segment 3D avatar. I will describe the technology components that are used to perform the slicing and segmentation.  As a first step, we use 3D Measure Up to detect and extract human body measurements e.g. height, waist size, leg length etc. Once we have those, we can easily slice the 3D avatars and segment the body parts by using any open source library which supports mesh boolean operations like PyMesh. What technology components are used?  We have used the following technology components to achieve our objective: 1. 3D Measure Up: is a service that makes it easy to add powerful 3D measurement and analysis to your applications. It lets you easily build powerful applications to identify and measure many landmarks on a 3D scan of a human body. 3D Measure Up is an anthropometric measurement service that detects various landmarks or features of a human body such as ankle, knee, tip of nose, shoulder point etc. It also allows you to measure various parameters of these landmarks e.g. position of mid-thigh from the ground, girth of biceps, waist, bust, volume of torso etc. 3D Measure Up is based on the proven, highly scalable, machine learning technology developed by ProtoTech’s 3D geometry, graphics and visualization experts. 2. PyMesh: is a rapid prototyping platform focused on geometry processing. It provides a set of common mesh processing functionalities and interfaces with a number of state-of-the-art open source packages to combine their power seamlessly under a single developing environment. Mesh process should be simple in python. PyMesh promotes human readable, minimalistic interface and works with native python data structures such as numpy.ndarray. How to implement? There are two separate tasks that you have to perform to accomplish this task. First is implemented using 3D Measure Up and the second task is implemented using Pymesh. This task can be done in a single application or can be done in two separate microservices. Below are the steps to utilize 3D Measure Up and PyMesh to slice a 3D model of the human body and extract body parts: 1. 3D Measure Up to get all the measurement: Create an application using 3D Measure Up. Provide a 3D human body part file (mesh format - example STL file) as an input to 3D Measure Up. 3D Measure Up will clean up mesh, do all the measurement and output you with all the landmarks and measurement information (like - ankle, knee, tip of nose, shoulder point, position of mid-thigh from the ground, girth of biceps, waist, bust, volume of torso etc) By using the 3D Measure Up output you can create a cubical or circular bounding for that body part that you want to slice and provide it as input to the PyMesh task. 2. PyMesh to slice the human body part: Create an application which imports PyMesh. Provide a 3D human body part file (example STL file) as an input to PyMesh and open the file to read the mesh. Now create another mesh in PyMesh using the bounding box information we calculated using 3D Measure Up. And then perform a mesh boolean intersection operation between both meshes. You will get sliced human body parts as a result. Anything that I should watch out for?  Building and installing PyMesh on windows, we have used it on Linux OS as it has good documentation for Linux but you can also use it docker container.  Creation of a presized bounding box from the data you get from 3D Measure up is an important task.  Handling different poses, postures and body shapes could be challenging.  Slicing the arm from the shoulder could be difficult for the fat shaped human body.

Validity, Accuracy, and Repeatability of Body Measurements extracted by 3D Measure Up Human body measurement is a pillar in the apparel industry for the production of bespoke clothes with the most comfortable fit. Digital methods based on 3D scans are augmenting the traditional manual measurement techniques to improve the consistency, accuracy, and productivity of expert measurers. One of the concerns domain experts have is the quality of measurements obtained with 3D scanner-based measurements in terms of accuracy, reliability, and validity across different body shapes, postures, and poses.   A measurement extracted is automatically valid if it is the desired measurement as expected by the domain expert. In this case, the domain expert is the tailor master taking the measurements for the custom fitted suit. For determining the measurement accuracy it needs to be compared with a baseline. The baseline here is defined by the tape measurements taken by experienced masters. One of 3D Measure Up’s customers, an apparel manufacturer, wanted to know if our technology is  reliable i.e. if we measured the same person repeatedly will we get the same results.   This study answers the question: How accurate and reliable is the 3D Measure Up Human body measurement platform? Or simply put: Is 3D Measure Up a dependable platform to be the core of a large bespoke apparel business? Validity What is a valid measurement? For this study, to determine the validity of measurements we referred to ISO 8859-1 and ISO 20685 standard definitions and the method used by the expert measurers. We picked only those measurements whose definitions matched the expectations of the expert measurers. Scanned 30 people, got their manual measurements, and compared the differences with automated measurements obtained from 3D Measure Up.    Sample population: Scanned subjects standing in a relaxed position with different body shapes, sizes, and postures wearing Formfit clothing Manually measured as soon as the scans were taken Table 1.1 lists the measurements, definitions, and an illustration of the measurement as measured by the expert.

Making Things to Order - The Evolution of Mass Personalization Consumers increasingly can define what they want, when they want it, and where to be delivered. According to a Deloitte report, nearly half of consumers want to be able to personalise the things or services they purchase after they make their purchase. The majority of consumers would be willing to pay more for a customised product or service if they were given the option to participate in its development actively. Client retention and income are in danger for businesses that do not personalise their offers. Organisations that do not personalise their offers threaten to lose their market share. To obtain a competitive advantage, a company must have a net edge over its competitors. Is it possible to produce a unique and profitable product or service with only a few options? Mass customisation is now possible, allowing businesses to directly measure what each client wants and link their processes and resources to fulfill that demand for each customer. This is now achievable because of advancements in manufacturing and delivery technology. Businesses are increasingly delaying output to enable customised customisation while simultaneously reducing inventory and improving plant efficiency at the same time. Because of the importance of personalisation, analytics tools are essential in ensuring that the correct consumer is matched with the appropriate outcome. Before making any decisions, businesses should evaluate their analytics capabilities and determine whether they need to invest in customisation technologies. Product and service companies may better understand consumer preferences due to the increased use of analytics, and they may be able to change their operations due to this knowledge. According to research, creating customised products and experiences can benefit businesses and their customers. When organisations mass personalises their communications, they can emphasise the importance of their data while also learning about their purchase behaviours. Aside from that, it streamlines product and service offerings, lowers marketing expenses, and assists consumers in grasping the bargain and gaining more excellent value for their money. Adjusting to critical activities such as manufacturing, distribution, marketing, and customer service may be necessary to customise a product. Customer control over how their information is used will be increased due to the development of a new data governance system, strengthening the company's talent strategy. Small businesses that embrace personalisation may be able to develop a distinct selling point, increase traffic and conversion rates, and grow their profits over time. Enhancing efficiency, lowering costs, and encouraging long-term growth are all possible benefits of personalisation. Mass personalisation is finally becoming a reality for the general public. According to a study conducted by Deloitte, More than 50% of consumers expressed an interest in acquiring products or services specifically tailored to their needs in several categories. Millennials are less likely than the over 55s to schedule a personalised vacation than the over 55s. 1 out of every 4 consumers is willing to spend more to acquire a more personalised product or service. 22% of consumers are willing to disclose some personal information in exchange for a more personalised customer product or service. Personalised products and experiences are becoming increasingly popular. It makes it easier for consumers to understand the offer while providing value for their money. Businesses have the chance to demonstrate the value derived from their data while getting a better understanding of consumer behaviour. It may be necessary to rethink corporate operations to offer personalisation. Still, organisations that do so have the opportunity to build a differentiated product that can charge a higher price while also increasing customer traffic and conversion.

15 ways that 3D Measure Up adds value to scanners 3D Measure Up is a technology platform for 3D body landmark identification and measurement extraction. Our vision is to be a perfect fit in the anthropometry space. We use a combination of computational, geometrical, and machine learning techniques to achieve very high fidelity in feature identification and a very high degree of accuracy in measurements. Listed below are some of the ways scanner manufacturers and resellers are can integrate 3D Measure Up to make the offering to their customers more valuable and usable. We list some of the benefits this integration offer. 1. 200+ body measurements validated in the market across different use cases 3D Measure Up detects hundreds of landmarks on the 3D scan of the human body and provides many measurements. A few examples are nose point, chin, neck, waist, back shoulder, knee, ankle, wrist, etc. We support landmarks defined by various international standards viz. ISO-8559-1, Bufar, etc. For a detailed catalog of the measurements we support, please refer to this link to understand 3D body scans and recognize features. These metric definitions have been validated by our customers in production environments. Figure: Hundreds of landmarks on a 3D scan of the human body and delivers measurements 2. Support for multiple, body shapes, poses, and postures Traditional measurement extraction systems have heavily relied on highly constrained standard poses such as ‘A’ or ‘T’. As I described earlier, there is a surge in the number of sources that capture body scans and it’s not possible to guarantee a perfect ‘A’ or ‘T’ pose. Not only that, most of the measurement extraction technologies have based their algorithms assuming bodies of perfect and symmetrical proportions. This is not the case. Scoliosis is a relatively common condition that causes the spine to curve and rotates into a C or S shape instead of a straight line. It is estimated that curves greater than 10 degrees are seen in approximately 3% of the population. There are plenty of more variations in postures viz. stooped posture, hollow back, slumped or rounded shoulders. Figure: Pose and posture support for various body types 3. Web API integration We have APIs which can be called from your application or web service. These REST APIs are very simple and easy to integrate. These are for companies who want to add value to their existing applications by incorporating body measurements features. Figure: Web API integration 4. White-labeled application You can use our Web Application which runs on any platform or device in a browser to perform standard and custom measurements. This is ideal for retail users and designers. Figure: White-labeled application 5. Easy integration with workflow, enabled by multiple export types and connectors We wanted to do more, so we extended our output information to also return the geometry profile of the measurements. Some of our customers use this information to overlay the girth profile on top of the 3D avatar they have in their own application. The biggest challenge we faced here was when we found that the geometries were not showing up in the right position. We found out that this was because we transform the avatar during the auto-alignment process. To fix it, we now transform the points back to the coordinate system in which the original scan coordinate system. Figure: Multiple export kinds and interfaces facilitate workflow integration 6. OEM widget to extend user-facing applications As an OEM app: You can quickly create your own branded web application deriving from our web application. Any web developer should be able to create one in a matter of days. This is ideal for 3D scanner companies to offer their own branded measurement app with their hardware. 7. Address tricky issues like alignment, mesh problems, measurement units The other common problems with input scans are holes and self-intersections. Many scans also have the scan of the platform attached at the base. A good handheld scanner will typically take care of these issues. At 3D Measure Up, we rely on a number of internally developed mesh processing algorithms and libraries to clean and repair the scans. Figure: Alignment, mesh, and measurement unit issues 8. Confidentiality, Privacy, and a Trusted Partner At 3D Measure Up, we take confidentiality very seriously. We use the data only and only for measurement extraction. We do not use our customer data to train our machine learning algorithms. The serverless architecture automatically adheres to GDPR compliances. 9. Highly scalable backend 3D Measure Up is powered by AWS and its architecture is Highly Available, Secure, Reliable, and Scalable. The nearly serverless backend enables it to scale to a high volume quickly. 10. Reduced cost of research, development, and maintenance Scanner manufacturers can use ProtoTech solutions development capabilities to quickly experiment in the Market by developing MVPs. 11. Development support to add more measurements As the market expands there is a need to accommodate new wearable or medical products. Each product segment brings its set of measurements. 3D Measure Up team provides development support to add new measurements. 12. Use as a base to derive proprietary measurements Some products provide proprietary measurements as a USP. The product teams are not comfortable with sharing the measurement definition outside their organizations. For such scenarios, we have APIs to derive measurements from the base measurements extracted by 3D Measure Up. This enables both the accuracy of detecting primary (generic measurements) across various body types. At the same time, it protects the rights of the product owners. 13. Focus on core expertise Scanner cos can focus on their core expertise in scanner development and accurate scan acquisition. 3D Measure Up deals with the measurement system and its complexities. The open framework of 3D Measure Up helps scanner systems to upgrade the hardware technologies with minimal software changes. 14. Flexible business models Our pricing model for all offerings is fair and is usage-based. We do not have any enormous setup costs. We are one of the most affordable solutions in the

3D Measure Up's web API has been simplified. Learn more about interesting facts such as versioning and mock API! It is very heartening to see a lot of innovation activity by entrepreneurs and their interest in contactless measurements. We are responding to their renewed vigor. Here’s what we have been up to lately. Release Highlights 100% increase in performance! Added 7 new landmarks  30+ measurements have been improved in accuracy. Improved scanner and web application integration Improved web application user interface  Extend web API and OEM widget to provide custom measurements Simplified pricing model   ➤ We've made our core algorithms 2x faster (as a result of a water cooler conversation - call it a benefit of working from the office!). You can get the measurements in nearly half the time it used to take! ➤ We receive requests for domain-specific measurements as well as requests for refined measurements as we interact with the market. We added 7 new landmarks and refined 30+ measurements. All the above improvements are available across different body poses and postures. They also take into account the skeletal structure of the corresponding section of the body.   ➤ To help integrate with ease, 3D Measure Up’s web API has features like versioning and mock API. API versioning enables developers to run production loads on an earlier version while they continue to integrate the latest releases.  The mock API reduces the cost of integration. The Mock API is similar to the live API. The mock API returns the same results every time it is invoked. The mock API endpoint has the same request signatures and response structures as the live endpoint. The mock API is free to use and does not consume any credits.       ➤ One of the challenges with API-based integration is verifying the measurements extracted. 3D Measure Up web API has an export_HTML option to export the measurements as a static 3D HMTL that renders the measurements on the scan measurements. The developer, as well as the domain expert, can use this to confirm that the measurement is as per the definitions required for their application. ➤ Simple features like returning the measurement unit of scan in the response have made adding measurements at offset, possible. It has also made the task of the development and testing teams easier. ➤ While we do our best to cover most of the measurements, we also acknowledge the fact that domain experts should have the means to extend the measurement to suit their product. This is also where the new value or innovation takes place. There are multiple options to do this.  ➤ In the 3D Measure Up web application, you can use the align and reposition feature to adjust the girth or a landmark position. You can also derive your own measurements using the API and OEM widget by using programmable interfaces and using measurements and landmarks extracted by 3D Measure Up as a base. For example, you can add girths at fixed offsets between the knee and ankle. These measurements can be useful for compression socks and prosthetics design. The level difference in the left and right side landmarks can be used as a tool for diagnosis in medical applications. 3D Measure Up at 3DBODY.TECH (Lugano, Switzerland) and Web3d (Italy)  A fantastic convention, the 3DBODY.TECH Conference and Expo is held every year, at Lugano, Switzerland.
