Abstract
For human body representation, bone length or other size characteristic that varies within the population is incorporated into the geometric model of the skeleton. The geometric model may be normalized for shape or tissue modeling, allowing modeling of the shape without dedicating aspects of the data-driven shape model to the length or other size characteristic. Given the same number or extent of components of the data-driven shape model, greater or finer details of the shape may be modeled since components are not committed to the size characteristic.
