Objective To evaluate the hypothesis that anthropometric dimensions derived from a person’s manifold-regression predicted three-dimensional (3D) humanoid avatar are accurate when compared to their actual circumference, volume, and surface area measurements acquired with a ground-truth 3D optical ima...
