Health-Oriented 3D Visualization Design for Predicting Human Body Shape Changes

The past literatures mostly use statistical techniques to describe the relationships between certain health conditions and anthropometric measurements. 3D Human Modeling has been a central focus in the computer graphics area. Many morphing methods have been developed throughout the years. However, it is still rare to see the same type of techniques being applied to health care fields. This proposal attempts to combine the knowledge and techniques in the above two areas. The concept of A Health-Oriented Visualization Design for Predicting Human Body Variations has been proposed. The work resulting in this proposal is expected to open a new series of visualization research in the future, which places a strong focus on promoting 3D Human Modeling and Anthropometry for aiding medical decision making and doctor-patient communications.
