Abstract
Human body is not an unique being, everyone is another from the point of view of anthropometry and mechanical
characteristics which means that division of the human body population to categories like 5%-tile, 50%-tile
and 95%-tile from the application point of view is not enough. On the other hand, the development of a particular
human body model for all of us is not possible. That is why scaling and morphing algorithms has started to be
developed. The current work describes the development of a tool for scaling of the human models. The idea is to
have one (or couple of) standard model(s) as a base and to create other models based on these basic models. One
has to choose adequate anthropometrical and biomechanical parameters that describe given group of humans to be
scaled and morphed among.
