A measuring system of the legs shape by using the kinect sensor

It is important to judge the shape of the legs as genu valgum (X-shape), genu varum (O-shape) or neither is important in pysical education. However, it imposes mental difficulties in measuring the shape of the legs visually. In this research, we propose an automatic method of measuring and distinguishing the type of the leges by using a depth sensor such as Kinect of Microsoft.
