Abstract
As one of clue to systematize biostereometrics together with its analysis and display method, the auther developed computer graphics application program, putting geometrical modeling to represent human figure. The advantage of this program is to generate surface model only from 3-D coordinates of several points on the human body surface using H0SAKA'S method. Those data points are selected from characteristics points on concavo-convex body surface and those of anthropometrically significant points.
With this method, it became possible to present the original figure in detail or in a simpler shape according to the degree of selection for data points. As the surface model could present various geometrical information and applications concerning to any point or part of the surface, it showed a possibility for supplying consistency to the whole process of 3-D analysis.
