+====== Compute Volume Of Chest Wall ======
+This command is based on the article by Ferrigno et al (1994) J Appl Physiol 77(3) 1224-1231.
+==== Marker Placement ====
+The command expects all 32 vertices described in the article.
+If any markers/landmarks are missing in a frame, no volume is computed.

+==== Units ====
+Visual3D uses MKS units throughout the analyses. The only exceptions are joint angles which are represented in degrees.
+The units for the volume are therefore m^3
+Note that 1 m^3= 1000 liters
+==== Compute_Volume_Of_A_Convex_Hull ====
+{{:ChestWall2.jpg}}
+In Figure 2 the volume of the highlighted volume can be computed as a convex hull.
+The volume of the chest wall is the sum of the volumes of the sub regions.
+=== Output signal ===
+The resulting signal contains two components. The first component is the volume The second component is the number of vertices that were available at that frame for computing the volume.
