Selection of Basic Measurements on Head Segment of Male Pilots for 3-D Anthropometry

The 3D digital design and flexible manufacturing technology on head protective products call for 3D anthropometric data from user population. ISO 20685:2010(E) recommended extracting the six measurements by head scanner while all standards relative to male pilot products were based on one-dimensional (1D) anthropometric databank with traditional measurement in China. The 35 basic measurements were selected by designer survey and data analysis of 904 cases with 53 measurement items in GJB4856 databank to confirm the technological design requirements for anthropometric data on head segment. And 40 landmarks on head segment were identified for 3D anthropometry. The basic measurements covered the main technological design usage for pilot products.
