A computational framework was developed to automatically reconstruct virtual scenes comprising 3D avatars of soldiers using image and/or video data. The virtual scenes help estimate blast overpressure exposure during weapon training. The tool facilitates a realistic representation of human posture in blast exposure simulations in various scenarios.
