Abstract

This paper proposed a new method to analyze the body shape without touching via image processing technique. First, the edges of images are extracted via some edge detection methods. Second, these edge images are analyzed by some measures such as body length and width which can effectively disclose the types of body: thin-long, stout or motile. Experiments show that this proposed method can effectively analyze the body shape with high veracity. This is of much importance to the potential applications in athletics selection.
