Fast interpolation based morphing of whole body human models

One of the demands for virtual anatomical models is parametrization, e.g., the same ”base” model but varying height, pose, body mass index, muscle volume, organ shape, etc. in order to provide a better coverage of the concerned population. We have recently reported on the development of a finite element based framework to parametrize the Virtual Population models. While the solution proposed therein offers unprecedented realism, it suffers from long off-line processing times and required resources. In this study we evaluated a fast interpolation based method to realistically approximate required deformation fields interactively.
