Your Body Avatar

Over the years, CFD Research has extensively developed a comprehensive Anthropometric Model Generator (AMG) tool, under the CobiDyn framework. This software can generate a human avatar based on as little as four anthropometric measurements, such as height, weight, chest and waist circumference. Accuracy of predictions is close to manual measurements [1] and can be more accurate than 3D body scans.

Detailed body measurements can be generated, as well as a surface, volumetric (tetrahedral) mesh, or musculoskeletal model [2] of the avatar. CobiDyn further has the capability to animate volumetric meshes using a motion database of military motions and motion retargeting and blending algorithms. Avatars can be saved at different time points in the animation and used for example for simulations.
