Download or read book Human Body Measurements Concepts And Applications written by SINGH, S. P. and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2010-01-30 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A perfect body is desired by every human being. Be it in terms of height, weight or mass—the increased awakening to stay fit and to be in shape has led to an urge to be familiar with the human anatomy and its measurements. A compendium of numerous conceptual issues on human body physique, body composition and nutritional status, this book comprehensively discusses various protocols for measuring human body parts. The emphasis is laid on the recommendations made by International Biological Programme (IBP) on Human Adaptability. In addition, the book effectively reveals subtle differences between those individuals who otherwise look similar through various somatotyping techniques (like Heath and Carter). The book also explains how body measurements determine the growth and development of a child; and factors like chronic illnesses, and obesity in an adult. Key Features : Solved examples to provide an analytical insight on the subject Figures and tables to present a lucid picture of all the concepts Review questions to test students’ aptitude on the subject Designed primarily for the postgraduate students of Human Biology, Human Genetics, Anthropology, Physical Education and Sports Sciences, this book is equally beneficial for the physical instructors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estimation of various anthropometric measurements and body weight is an important problem in medical and forensic domains. In this thesis, we investigate solutions for the challenging problem of weight and height estimation from images and videos, using which we calculate the body mass index (BMI). The proposed approach consists of two steps. First, the measurements of height, chest, waist and hip are obtained from images/videos using a suite of computer vision techniques while the age and gender are assumed to be given. Next, a model is trained to extract the relations between these six variables and the weight, which is then used for inference. A number of models are considered, namely, Gaussian mixture regression, principal component regression, random forest regression, generalized regression neural network, multilayered perceptron, independent component regression, clustering, sparse coding, deep belief network, and copula regression. Performances of the models are compared using root mean square error and correlation coefficient between inferred and actual weights. For data collected by our collaborators as well as other publicly available datasets, a few of the models clearly outperform the rest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estimates of body mass are essential to biological anthropology research. The primary source for such estimates is skeletal morphology, and several predictive equations have been developed for cranial and postcranial material. These equations are widely used, but a number of factors suggest that they may not be as reliable as they are generally assumed to be. In particular, reference samples are often small and analyses frequently employ indirect measurements, specimens without accompanying body mass values, or mean data. In addition, tests of the equations have rarely involved external validation with samples of known mass.This project addressed these issues through three studies, using a large sample of modern humans for which both body masses and skeletal measurements were available. The sample consisted of Swiss forensic cases whose skeletal measurements were reconstructed from whole-body computed tomography scans. The first study compared the accuracy of three sets of commonly employed cranial equations. The second assessed published postcranial equations and compared the results to previous evaluations that had used less robust test samples. Several expectations regarding the performance of the equations were also tested. The third study employed the same sample to develop and test new regression equations for estimating mass from cranial and postcranial variables. The study was designed to compare the relative utility of the cranial and postcranial equations and to test the effect of variable choice, statistical method, and evaluation criteria on estimation competence. Results suggest that body mass estimates should be used more cautiously than is usually the case. Overall, cranial equations did not estimate mass accurately. Several that have been deemed to be reliable in previous studies, did not perform well. Postcranial equations estimated mass more accurately, but not consistently. They also did not necessarily perform in accordance with statements in the literature. Deriving new equations using a known reference sample improved estimation competence compared to previous studies, but accuracy rates remained relatively low. Key assumptions about the best criteria to use for evaluating predictive competence were not supported. Further research may explain these discrepancies, but until then, estimates generated with currently published equations should be treated as "ballpark figures".

This book was released on 2018 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Body mass distribution and center of mass (CoM) are important topics in the field of human biomechanics and the healthcare industry. Increasing global obesity has led researchers to measure body parameters. This project focuses on developing an automatic computer vision approach to calculate the body mass distribution and CoM, as well as identify body types with a minimum setup cost.
