Digital anthropometry for human body measurement on android platform

Anthropometry is the science of measuring the size and proportions of the human body. Based on the current researches, callipers and tape measures are the instruments used in measuring body length of an individual. Anthropometry is mostly conducted by the tailors as well as interior designers. This study aims to develop Digital Anthropometry for Human Body Measurement Using OpenCV on Android Platform which automatically measures human body using android phone. These body parts to be measured are represented by a marker; shoulder width, sleeve length, body length, back-waist length, back-neck-to-cuff, cross-back, outseam and inseam. For the accuracy, the distance requirement of the device is 30 inches away from the subject for upper body and 62 inches for the lower body. The required color shirt of the subject is a white and black pants or shorts, the required background color is white and bright surrounding is required.
