Abstract
The Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) require current and representative anthropometric (body size and shape) data to design, specify, acquire and procure clothing, individual equipment, platforms and workstations to ensure operator safety and optimal performance of a diverse work force. To address this challenge, the Director Soldier System Program Management (DSSPM) has initiated the CAF Anthropometry for Program for Soldier System Acquisition program (CAPSSA), which endeavours to continuously gather, analyze and manage anthropometric data of CAF members from recruitment and periodically throughout their careers. An important aspect of this project is the identification and acquisition of multiple three-dimensional (3D) body scanning systems to acquire body dimensions of CAF personnel. In response to a request from the Human Factors Support Cell (HFSC) of DSSPM, Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) – Toronto Research Centre identified objective methodologies to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of candidate 3D body scanning systems based on international and operational standards. This Reference Document describes three recommended methods, associated statistical analysis and performance standards for evaluating 3D body scanning systems. These methods include: 1) scanning a calibrated test sphere, 2) scanning a manikin/dress form and 3) scanning human participants. Advice on how the evaluation methods can be used for re
