Abstract
Recently, computers have been getting avalable for making patterns on women's wares. Generally speaking, it is quite difficult to measure lady's body, because it has more complicated surfaces than man's; such as which observed at shoulder part, breast part, waist part and so on than men's. This paper reports the construction of new measuring system; measuring human body without touching and destroying the object, analizing the data and making patterns on ladies' wares automatically with an image processing unit and a micro cmputer. Furthermore, SUPER ELLIPSE method is applied to get the data on human body's circumference length which has weight with making patterns where the error and accuracy are considered. Nontouch measuring is performed by the automatic measuring system consisted of two CCD cameras and image processing unit. Four pictures aretaken; they are upper front view, upper right side view, lower front view and lower right side view. All these pictures are proccessed by a personal computer connected with the system, calculating the necessary length automatically for making patterns. The error is to be within the allowance of JIS size table. SUPER ELLIPSE method is found to be useful for measuring ladies' body.
