METHOD FOR DETERMINING CLOTHING SIZES OF PERSONS FROM DIGITAL PICTURES.

摘要

Method for determining clothing sizes of persons from digital pictures, comprising the following steps in a suitable order: a) taking a frontal digital picture of at least the upper body part of said person while the arms of said person are spread in oblique lateral downward directions, said picture having an upper edge closest to the head of the person and a lower edge farthest from the head of the person; b) defining a horizontal line in said picture which is statistically almost certainly located well below the persons armpits; c) determining on both sides of the vertical centre line of the picture the distances, for instance in pixels, between the pixel of a horizontal line and the first contrasting pixel above said line which has a predetermined significant different colour and/or brightness than the colour and/or brightness of the pixels below it; d) determining on each side of the vertical centre line an uppermost contrasting pixel having a local maximum determined distance from said horizontal line; e) determining the distance, for instance in pixels, between said two uppermost contrasting pixels; f) using said distance between said two uppermost contrasting pixels for calculating a clothing size of said person.
