Creating individual human models needs expensive equipment or time-consuming work. Therefore, method to create them easily is required. We developed a method to individualize template models from a small number of dimensions. It consists of 3 steps. In the 1st step, dimensions for individualizing the template model are estimated from a small number of measured dimensions by using large-scale human dimension database. In the 2nd step, a skin shape of the template model is deformed based on the estimated dimensions. In the 3rd step, a bone shape of the template model is deformed based on the deformation volumes of the vertices on the skin shape. We verified validity of the deformed bone shape by comparing the scaled bone shape in terms of link length. As a result, the bone mesh deformed by the proposed method had more natural geometry than the scaled bone mesh.
