The virtual dressing room (VDR) is a concept which can be applied on retailer
shops as a fitting or changing room which enables to understand the individual
shopping behavior of customers. In this paper, we present the system developed to
measure real-time body parameters for virtual dressing using a Kinect Version 2.
When a person stands in front o f the sensor, it captures true-color (RGB) and
infrared (IR) images of the person. Using the sensor middleware the skeleton
positions and orientations were identified. Basic noise reduction was done by the
Kinect sensor. The system developed at the initial stage is capable o f detecting and
obtaining personalized body parameters such as height, shoulder length, neck to hip
length, hip to leg length, and arm length by incorporating the necessary skeleton
joints. According to the results, the measurement on height and arm length o f the
person are relatively in good agreement with the actual values since the error is only
around 5 % and measurement has been taken in centimeters. The highest error was
recorded for the shoulder measurement. This can happen if the user is not properly
perpendicular to the Kinect sensor. In order to minimize the error, it is necessary to
rotate the user 360 degrees on his/her own axis so that the maximum distance
between shoulder right and shoulder left was obtained. For accurate measurements
it was identified that the user should be within 255 cm - 265 cm from the sensor.
Gesture control graphical user interface has been introduced for the developed
system of VDR.
