System and method for model-based calculation of blast exposure

A method of generating an anatomical soldier model, the method comprising:

• obtaining a three-dimensional skin model;
• equipping the three-dimensional skin model with virtual clothing and virtual protective armor to obtain a virtual soldier model;
• segmenting the virtual soldier model into different anatomical body regions;
• articulating segmented virtual soldier model into a pose of a real subject of a blast scene;
• generating a surface mesh of the articulated segmented virtual soldier model;
• and
• generating a report that includes the articulated segmented virtual soldier model and the real subject of the blast.

A method of calculating a weapon signature for a blast source of a weapon, the method comprising:

• obtaining pressure data from a plurality of pressure sensors that recorded pressure during a scene;
• obtaining topological layout of the plurality of pressure sensors with respect to the blast source;
• reconstructing scene to place a virtual pressure sensor at a position for each of the plurality of pressure sensors;
• obtaining time-gated pressure trace data for each of the plurality of pressure sensors;
• processing the time-gated pressure trace data to obtain a blast wave at the blast source;
• defining the blast wave at the blast source as a weapon signature for the weapon;
• and
• generating a report to include the weapon signature for the weapon.
