This provides a visualization of a digital human model based upon anthropometry and biomechanics of the subject. A moving statistical body shape model helps to visualize physical tasks with inter-individual variability in body shapes as well as anthropometric dimensions. This parametric modeling approach is useful for reliable prediction and simulation of the body shape movement of a specific population with a few given predictors such as stature, body mass index and age.}, isbn = {978-3-319-96077-7}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-96077-7_4}, author = {Scataglini, Sofia and Femke Danckaers and Haelterman, Robby and Toon Huysmans and Jan Sijbers}, editor = {Bagnara, Sebastiano and Tartaglia, Riccardo and Albolino, Sara and Alexander, Thomas and Fujita, Yushi} }
