BODY HEIGHT MEASUREMENT METHOD, BODY HEIGHT MEASUREMENT APPARATUS, AND BODY HEIGHT MEASUREMENT PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a body height measurement method, a body height measurement apparatus and program capable of measuring a body height while the body is in a lying posture.;SOLUTION: A body height measurement apparatus 1 takes images of the body of a subject 5 at plural imaging positions and generates a three-dimensional image of the body on the basis of the taken images. Then, the body height measurement apparatus 1 converts plural measurement points set on the generated three-dimensional image to coordinates on a two-dimensional plane, and measures the distance between the measurement points projected on the two-dimensional plane on the basis of the converted coordinates, otherwise calculating the height of the body on the basis of the calculated distance.;SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1;COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT
