Non Contact Human Body Parameter Measurement Based on Kinect Sensor

Abstract

In this work we implemented a system to obtain human body parameter measurement without physically contacting the user. This implementation is contained the methods of obtaining 3D measurements using Kinect v2 depth sensor. The developed system at the initial stage is capable of 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 and front perimeter at chest, stomach and waist by incorporating the necessary 3D pixels. According to the results, the measurement on height and arm length of the person are relatively in good agreement with the actual values since the error is less than 5% and measurement has been taken in centimeters. Maximum 12% of an error incorporated of calculating front perimeter at chest. Experimental results obtained from the developed system are in acceptable range for dressing purpose and ultimately helpful for designing a real time 3D virtual dressing room.
