AB - The determination of curve generation rules for the body features is the lynchpin in the creation of
computer generated three dimensional (3D) lower body human mannequins. In this paper, methods
to determine the characteristic features of the curves, such as the waist curve, abdomen curve and
hip curve were analyzed as a precursor to creating female lower body 3D mannequins. Methods to
generate the profile curves for the different body features were devised by adding insertion points onto
the curves. The relationships between the coordinates of the insertion points and body measurement
data were analyzed using SPSS software and rules for the generation of curves for each of the featured
parts were determined. Subsequently these were used to provide the basis for the creation of a female
lower body 3D mannequin, which can be useful for the further development of clothing e-commerce.
The modelling system was developed by automatically extracting anthropometric data from a non-
contact 2D anthropometry system (photographs) and used to generate human models according to their
different body features. The system can facilitate the interactive design of different fashion styles and
the automatic generation of garment patterns.
