The dissertation title is "Anthropometric measurements for 3D clothing design." The main research areas are as follows: the collection and analysis of apparel design and anthropometric data collection methods and systems; the development of anthropometric data from 3D clothing computer systems using modern technologies. The doctoral thesis consists of five main chapters, an introduction, the results and the conclusions; it contains an explanatory and an abbreviations glossary, as well as a list of images and tables. The introduction part gives an insight into the works main issues, a justified research topicality, a defined purpose and the tasks and a characterization of the work approbation. The first chapter discusses, analyzes and systematizes as well as compares the apparel CAD methods and systems. It shows the interaction, characteristics and problems of the basic processes and system components of clothing design. The second chapter summarizes, systematizes and analyzes anthropometric data collection methods, systems and options. Combining possibilities of various methods are being discussed and analyzed; a comparison of these methods is included. Various data acquisition devices, their suitability for the description of the human body’s surface and the acquisition of measurements are being analyzed. The third chapter of the thesis identifies and analyzes the capability limits of 3D human body scanning, giving an analytical review and identifying possible solutions. The fourth chapter summarizes and analyzes the layout techniques of the human body’s surface with the goal of identifying the possibilities of laying out a garments surface defined in a three-dimensional environment. The fifth chapter describes the implementation opportunities of a 3D experimental mannequin; gives a description of the implementation; states the proposed approach to the 3D design implementation and the solution of practical tasks of clothing design in a 3D environment. It specifies the results of the 3D anthropometric studies. The final chapter of the thesis summarizes the results and conclusions. The thesis has 132 pages in the main chapters, 176 pages including the annexes; it includes 48 pictures, 9 tables, 6 annexes and a bibliography that contains 110 units.
