Morphometric Methods in the Determination of Human Shape Variability for the Construction of Protective Clothing

The morphometric methodology refers to methods for description of shape variation of organisms and the comparison of shape differences among individuals applying statistical procedures. Geometric morphometrics is based on the Cartesian coordinates of landmarks that are homologous across all measured individuals. This new method opens new opportunities for manufacturers to accurately identify and combine different materials, precisely define the pattern and construction of protective clothing and footwear. The definition of structural elements of those products can greatly influence and thus significantly contribute to its protective properties and wear comfort. The variability of the 3D anthropometric data obtained from 3D scanners is presented. The determining of anthropometric characteristics gives manufacturers a powerful tool in designing protective clothing and equipment.
