Industry Connections (IC) 3D Body Processing

3DBP IC GROUPS

• Quality Objectives
  This subgroup plans to provide methods, tools, benchmarks, resources and testing procedures to define and quantify the quality of 3D models as well as the quality of the critical data for use cases, such as body landmarks and measurements or use applications such as VR. 
• Footwear
  This subgroup was formed to address how the different concerns of footwear can impact customer 3D scanning data. Footwear sizing concerns are as follows: footwear dimensions are impacted by the amount of weight on the foot; footwear is last based – either physical or digital; there is a lack of consensus as to what constitutes critical measurements for fit in footwear; and there is a lack of understanding of how mobility of the foot affects fit in footwear. Since footwear is last based, further research has expanded to include last definitions and measurements. Other research includes proposed new foot measurements and the impact of AI and foot scans on parametric footwear models.

• Fit Subgroup
  Technologies that have radicalized other industries have had limited effect and slow adoption within the apparel pipeline. Having identified “Fit” as key obstacle, this sub-group was formed. The goal is to determine what 3D related systems/processes need standards or new methodologies, beyond current industry practices/methodologies, for describing Apparel Fit in 3D and are relevant for 2D apparel manufacturing practices. The subgroup has begun by considering communication barriers regarding language, terminology, definitions and body shapes along with 3D scanning that may impact the methodology of 2D and 3D pattern making.

• Communication, Security, Privacy, and Trust (CSPT)
  This subgroup is investigating the secure transmission and storage, as well as the use, protection and privacy of records that contain personal information as it pertains to 3D body processing. The IEEE 3DBP hopes to leverage existing global practices to examine adjacent projects that may provide insights into CSP procedures, establish and formalize processes to help ensure CSP methods, and develop minimum CSP practices to improve individual privacy and security, regardless of the communication protocol used in information or record exchange and storage.  This subgroup is also analyzing how new technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, Internet of Things, big data, 5G communications, and other technologies may impact the retail environment.

• Quality
  This subgroup plans to provide methods, tools, benchmarks, resources and testing procedures to define and quantify the quality of 3D models as well as the quality of the critical metadata for use cases, such as body landmarks and measurements.  In addition, this sub-group plans to evaluate the requirements needed for materials such as textiles for quality of garment modeling.
• Landscape
  To understand the landscape of the 3D ecosystem, the P3141 will be determining different use cases and conducting 3D scanning technologies review along with recommendations for Metadata and File formats requirements
