Abstract

The development of commodity depth camera such as Kinect has paved the way for low-cost human body measurement. The existing Kinect-based body measurement methods are too time-consuming since their purposes also include 3D reconstruction. In this paper, we present a Kinect-based simple but fast and effective solution that is tailored only for human body measurement. In particular, our method captures four views of a subject body and constructs a 3D point cloud for each view. The point clouds are then registered and merged to have a full body cloud on which the body measurements are estimated automatically. The experimental results show that our method requires much shorter execution time than the previous works while still producing measurements with comparable quality.
