Dense 3D pressure discomfort threshold (PDT) map of the human head, face and neck [Dataset]

This dataset contains a dense 3D pressure discomfort threshold (PDT) map of the human head, face and neck of a mixed population (n=28), mapped on an average head model of all the participants. Datasets on nonNormalised and Normalised are available.

To aid designers and engineers, this PDT is also mapped on the human head Statistical Shape Model (SSM) (from Principal Component 1 to PC50, ±3σ) built on the CAESAR 3D Anthropometric Database (USA, Italy and The Netherlands, male and female, 18-65y, n=4309).

Files are available as *.vtk for further analysis, and as *.obj for further use as reference models for design engineering in e.g. CAD.
