Abstract

An increasingly growing demand on the bespoke service for buying clothes online presents a new challenge of how to efficiently and precisely acquire anthropometric data of distant customers. The conventional 2D anthropometric methods are efficient but face a problem of imperfect body segmentation because they cannot automatically deal with arbitrary background. To address this problem this paper aimed at female anthropometry proposes to segment the female body out of an orthogonal photo pair with deep learning, and to extract a group of body feature points according to curvature and bending direction of the segmented body contour. With the located feature points we estimate six body parameters with two existing mathematical models and assess their pros and cons in this paper.
