MEASURING INSTRUMENT OF BODY HEIGHT-RELATED INFORMATION AND BODY CONSTITUENT ANALYZER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a measuring instrument of body height-related information and a body constituent analyzer.SOLUTION: The device is so constructed that images of a subject to be measured whose position is limited are captured, specific organs are recognized from the captured images of the subject to be measured and body height-related information of the corresponding subject to be measured is calculated on the basis of the recognized organs. In this manner, since no physical device makes contact with a human body, it does not bring a discomfort feeling. The device also can acquire more precise body height-related information by estimating body height-related information of the subject to be measured through the recognition of the organs. The device is so constructed that the images of the subject to be measured are captured, the specific organs are recognized from the captured images of the subject to be measured, the body height-related information of the subject to be measured is calculated on the basis of the recognized organs, and further the body height-related information is reflected when the body constituent of the subject to be measured is analyzed. In this manner, precise body height-related information can be obtained and the body constituent can be analyzed by using the body height-related information without requiring input of user information.
