Automated Body Measurement with Computer Vision

In the context of fitness, fashion, and healthcare, accurate body measurements are essential, and manual methods are often inefficient and error-prone. To address this, a real-time body measurement application was developed using computer vision, powered by a YOLOv11 Keypoint Detection model from Roboflow Universe, which identifies 17 key body points and calculates various measurements from a single image. The process involved sourcing a pre-made project from Roboflow, using high-quality frontal images for training, and applying augmentations to improve model robustness. The application includes a workflow for real-time inference, which overlays detected keypoints on input images, and a Python-based Tkinter GUI that calculates body measurements by leveraging the user's interpupillary distance to scale pixel measurements accurately. The project highlights the potential of computer vision in automating body measurements for various applications, offering a user-friendly interface and ensuring secure handling of sensitive data through environment variables.
