Products that make your designs fit.
Whether designing new clothing lines or cockpits accurate body
measurements are critical to create better and more cost effective
products. The CAESAR Product Line (Civilian American and European
Surface Anthropometry Resource) was designed to provide you with
the most current measurements for today's body. This product line
was developed as a result of a comprehensive research project that
brought together representatives from numerous industries
including apparel, aerospace, and automotive. CAESAR began as a
partnership between government and industry to collect and
organize the most extensive sampling of consumer body measurements
for comparison. The project collected and organize data on 2,400
U.S. & Canadian and 1,900 European civilians and a database was
developed. The following product line makes the results of this
research study available to designers everywhere.

CAESAR 3-D Anthropometric Database, North American
Edition
This extensive database product includes measurements from the
entire North American population sample (2,400 male and female
subjects, aged 18-65) including demographics (in comma delimited
text and Excel spreadsheet formats). This database is the first to
include 3-D model scans in addition to traditional 1-D
measurements. The camera views from the 3-D scan have been
accurately stitched together to provide complete 3-D models of
each pose. Scanned poses include standing, relaxed seated, and
coverage poses. In addition the database contains 40 traditional
(1-D) measurements that were done with a tape measure and caliper.
Extracted 1-D measurements using landmarks from the scans -
standing and relaxed seated poses are also included (both in
comma-delimited text and Excel spreadsheet formats). All
measurements are presented in both English and metric units.
Several reports are also included that cover protocol of how the
database was generated for the population of the United States of
America (18-65).

More About CAESAR
Database Content
The CAESAR database contains anthropometric variability of men and
women, ages 18-65. Representatives were solicited to ensure
samples for various weights, ethnic groups, gender, geographic
regions, and socio-economic status. The study was conducted from
April 1998 to early 2000 and includes three scans per person in a
standing pose, full-coverage pose and relaxed seating pose. Data
collection methods were standardized and documented so that the
database can be consistently expanded and updated.
High-resolution measurements of body surfaces were made using a
new data collection technology--Three Dimensional (3D) Surface
Anthropometry. This technology can capture hundreds of thousands
of points in three dimensions on the human body surface in a few
seconds. It has many advantages over the old measurement system
using tape measures, anthropometers, and other similar
instruments. It provides detail about the surface shape as well as
3D locations of measurements relative to each other and enables
easy transfer to Computer-Aided Design (CAD) or Manufacturing
(CAM) tools. The resulting scan is independent of the measurer,
making it easier to standardize. Automatic landmark recognition (ALR)
technology was used to automatically extract anatomical landmarks
from the 3D body scans. Eighty landmarks were placed on each
subject. More than 100 univariate measures were provided, more
than 60 from the scan and approximately 40 using traditional
measurements. Demographic data such as age, ethnic group, gender,
geographic region, education level, and present occupation, family
income and more were also captured.
3-D Scans: The newest technology available
The use of averages and percentiles (traditional methods of
characterizing populations), have often resulted in erroneous and
inaccurate designs that don't fit the target audience. 3-D Scans
are the newest way to size your products for the best fit.
Scanning technology can be used to modify products in the design
stage to accurately fit a wide range of subjects. The broad
variations in humans make 3-D a much more accurate end result when
considering combinations than using percentiles with 1-D
measurements. The scan can easily be used in computer aided design
and rapid prototyping which reduces the guesswork in body surface
measurements. The three scanned poses included in CAESAR gives you
access to the first viable method for capturing 3-D information
about subjects in realistic postures allowing you to extract an
almost infinite number and variety of measurements long after the
subject has moved. Plus the extensive database that comes with
CAESAR gives you the capability to create a sample tailored
specifically to your target market.
Benefits of CAESAR
| Helps reduce guesswork about body surface measurements
making it easier to use in computer aided design and rapid
prototyping |
| Allows extraction of almost infinite number and variety of
measurements long after the subject has moved |
| Gives you access to the first viable method for capturing
information about of subjects in realistic postures |
| Provides visualization of the entire subject so design
issues can be readily understood |
| Provides extensive database that permits you to create a
sample tailored to your target market |
| Provides 3-D scans that can be used to modify products in
the design stage to more accurately fit the wide range of
subjects. The use of traditional methods of characterizing
populations (averages and percentiles) often results in
erroneous and inaccurate designs that don't fit the target
audience. The use of percentiles, for example, may be
appropriate for measuring in one dimension, but due to the wide
variations in humans, the 3-D scans provide a more accurate end
result when considering combinations of variables |
Unique features of CAESAR
| Most anthropometric surveys provide reports with summary
statistics for the wrong target population, which means they are
the wrong statistics. CAESAR database allows you to regroup and
calculate or view any aspect of interest for your products |
