Abstract

A method of deforming a shape of a human body model includes the steps of reorganizing human body model data into a joint-skeleton structure-based Non-Uniform Rational B-spline (NURBS) surface model, generating statistical deformation information about control parameters of the NURBS surface model based on parameters of joints and key section curves for specific motions, and deforming the shape of the human body model based on the NURBS surface model and the statistical deformation information. The human body model data includes three-dimensional (3D) human body scan data and a 3D polygon mesh.
