OpenSkeleton: Open, Sex-Specific Full-Body Skeletal dataset for Statistical Shape Modeling

This dataset provides anatomically corresponding three-dimensional skeletal meshes of the human body. This dataset can be used for, but is not limited to, the development, evaluation, and benchmarking of statistical shape models (SSMs) and subject-specific anatomical models. The dataset was created from computed tomography (CT) data of 102 subjects (51 females and 51 males) from the New Mexico Decedent Image Database (NMDID). The skeletal anatomy was segmented and processed to obtain anatomically corresponding meshes across 182 skeletal structures, covering the complete human skeleton. The individual structures were registered to establish correspondence between subjects while preserving the anatomical geometry of each structure. Dataset contents NM_LEXT: MATLAB struct containing the data from the lower extremities (LEXT) and torso (TORSO) for all subjects. NM_UEXT: MATLAB struct containing the data from the upper extremities (UEXT) for all subjects. NM_combined: MATLAB struct containing the data from the lower extremities, torso, and upper extremities. The upper-extremity structures have been repositioned into the same coordinate frame as the lower extremities and torso, providing a common coordinate system for the complete skeleton. Faces: MATLAB struct containing the faces of the registered structures. Metadata: MATLAB struct containing metadata for the subjects included in the NMDID dataset.
