Research paper thumbnail of A head-model reconstruction based upon photogrammetric data from Sri Lankan adult males relevant to the design of headgear

To provide adequate data of the shapes and contours of the head to the designer, appropriate head models sculptured using comprehensive head dimensions, must be developed. This paper describes (a) a procedure of collecting comprehensive anthropometric data of the head using a photogrammetric method and (b) a simple sculpturing technique to reconstruct a head model of the user population.
