Sažetak
In this paper simple and fast method for human anthropometric parameters estimation was proposed and evaluated. Anthropometric data obtained by this method are human segments lengths and masses, which could be primarily used for biomechanics applications, but could be adapted to other fields, as well. Measurement system designed for the purposes of this work consist of a single digital camera, PC and requires simple experimental set?up. We developed 3D model of the human body by using data obtained from 2D subject?s image and ellipses as basic objects. Advantages of the proposed method are contactless measurements on the subject which result in minimizing examiners physical intervention and considerable reduction of time required for measurements. Therefore, measurements can be conducted on a large number of subjects, in a short period of time. Proposed method comes with some disadvantages, due which it could be rather used as an estimation tool than as a highly-precise measurement procedure of anthropometric parameters, which is usually performed on cadavers
