Anthropometry (version 1.1)

landmarks: Landmarks representing the woman's body

Description

The body shape of the women who belong to dataDemo is represented by a set of anatomical correspondence points, called landmarks.

This database collects the set of landmarks of each woman.

The landmarks considered were placed in three different ways:

• Automatic landmarks: automatically calculated with scanner program algorithms, based on geometrical features of the body.
• Manual landmarks: points which are not reflected on the external body geometry; they were located through palpation by expert personnel and identified by a physical marker.
• Digital landmarks: detected on the computer screen in the 3D scanned image. They are not robust on the automatic calculation but are easy to detect on the screen.

Usage

landmarks

format

A data frame with 600 observations and 198 variables (66 landmarks times 3 dimensions).
