Abstract
In this paper, we explore a privacy algorithm that detects human private parts in a 3D scan dataset. The intrinsic human proportions are applied to reduce the search space by an order of magnitude. A feature shape template is constructed to match the model data points using Radial Basis Functions in a non-linear regression. The feature is then detected using the relative measurements of the height and area factors. The method is tested on 100 datasets from CAESER database.
