Hi all,

I am using the full body model from Rajagopal et al. which is 170 cm, according to their article.
However, when I downloaded the folder with all the respective files, the model is only 165 cm (Unscaled model).
after scaling, the model is only 173 cm and it is expected to be 180 cm. I guess this is because the unscaled model is only 165 cm.

is there anyone who knows about this?

we placed a marker on the ground and another on top of the head and the length is 165 instead of 170 cm.
or is the unscaled model actually 165 cm?

regards,
ary

Just because the Human Subject was 170cm tall, doesn't mean the model will be. There are differences in tissue thickness at the foot and head alone that could account for the 5cm difference (the subject could have also been wearing shoes). The model also uses some generic Geometry files (torso and head?) that have nothing to do with the subject that was used for calibrating the model.

I don't think what you are describing is a problem to be concerned about.
