“…To overcome the problem of wrong fit for online shopping [19], many research projects have been conducted and one of the most promising solutions is by directly estimating the human body measurements from 2D images. This typically requires users to only wear very tight clothes or just underwear.…”

We present a system that estimates upper human body measurements using a set of computer vision and machine learning techniques. In a nutshell, the main steps involve: (1) using a portable camera (such as from a smartphone); (2) improving the image quality; (3) isolating the human body from the surrounding environment; (4) performing a calibration step; (5) extracting features of the body from the image; (6) indicating markers on the image; (7) producing refined final results. Using a single RGB camera to obtain accurate body dimensions rather than measuring these manually or via more complex multi-camera or more expensive laser-based sensors, has a high application potential for the apparel (fashion) industry. We also present in this paper, ellipse-like approximations with the aim of minimizing the difference between the results of direct (hand) and software measurements. The human body circumferences can be well approximately represented by varying elliptic cross sections, and these can be adapted to each individual. We show that better results than the current state-of-the-art are obtained based on a simple criterion. In our study, we selected a set of two equations, out of many other possible choices, to best estimate upper human body horizontal cross sections. We experimented with the system on a diverse sample of participants. The results for the upper human body measurements in comparison to the traditional manual method of tape measurements, when used as a reference, show ±1cm average differences, which is sufficient for a number of applications.

“…Lots of apparel/ fashion companies are pursuing to sell their products online since E-Commerce industry is growing and getting more popular in the last few decades. In their way of doing so, they have faced several issues and one of the main issue of online shopping as mentioned before is fitting issue [16].…”

Using a single RGB camera to obtain accurate body dimensions rather than measuring these manually or via sophisticated multi-camera or laser-based sensors, has a high application potential for the apparel (fashion) industry. We present a system that estimates upper human body measurements using a set of computer vision and machine learning technologies. In a nutshell, the main steps involve: (1) using a portable camera (such as with a smartphone); (2) improving the image quality; (3) performing a calibration step; (4) extracting features of the body from the image; (5) indicating markers on the image semi-automatically; (6) producing refined final results.We experimented with the system on a sample of participants. The results for the upper human body measurements in comparison to the main manual method of tape measurements show ±1cm average differences, which is a good enough result for a number of applications.

“…Early on, it was proposed in [8] that human body cross-sections can be approximated with ellipses, which has been since [6]. However, the accuracy thus far achieved is not sufficient for many real-life applications, with over a centimeter of an error on average.…”

In the present paper, ellipse-like approximations are considered with the aim of minimizing the difference between the results of direct and software measurements. The human body can only be approximately represented by elliptic cross sections, and these can vary for each individual. We show that better results are obtained by adapting the fit to the body shape based on a simple criterion. Based on this study, we have selected two mathematical models to estimate upper human body circumferences.The result is a fully trained system that can choose the best ellipse equation according to the human body shape to calculate human body circumferences.
