ones would be a better option. That causes deviations of scanned model from real
shape on particular body parts. Deviation on such parts also depends on the size of
shaded area that needs to be closed. At small distances, curves can be completely
approximated with the flat surface, without great effect on the shape, while on bigger
shaded areas, deviations of surface shape will be significant, which needs to be taken
into account in further process and application of such models for 3D clothing
construction.
Parametric body models enable adjustment of a greater number of body measure-
ments and some characteristics of body shape and posture. Body measurements are
usually organized according to the type of measurements and grouped as basic body
