Anthropometric methods for apparel design: Body measurement devices and techniques 55

Though published in 1941 the report of an anthropometric research project by the
US Department of Agriculture provides a good manual of anthropometry for garment
design (O’Brien and Shelton, 1941).
For the quality control of 1-D measurements, ISO 15535 establishes a protocol for
eliminating irregular values as described in Section 2.4.2. For the quality control of
scan-derived 1-D measurements, ISO 20685-1 establishes a protocol for evaluating
comparability with traditional measurements as described in Section 2.3.4. ISO
20685-2 establishes a protocol for evaluating accuracy of 3-D scanners as described
in Section 2.3.5.
