Integrating 3D Posture Neutralization with Statistical Shape Modeling for Head-Neck-Shoulder Ergonomic Design
The design of ergonomic products and workspaces requires a deep understanding of human anatomy and posture. In particular, the head-neck-shoulder region is critical for many applications such as cervical orthoses, helmets, and other head-worn or neck-worn devices. This paper presents a framework that integrates posture neutralization with statistical shape modeling (SSM) for the head-neck-shoulder (HNS) region. We acquire a single three-dimensional (3D) scan of the head-neck-shoulder region from each of 200 Chinese adults in a natural posture for each subject. Every scan is then posture-neutralized before SSM. We fit a parametric head-neck model to each scan to separate cervical pose from...
