Height Measurement of Pose Bent Knees by Using Pose Estimation of MediaPipe
摘要
Height is an important human parameter used in many fields such as healthcare, beauty, sports, etc. There are many different non-contact height measurement methods in the world, but most of these methods only support measuring a person’s height in a standing straight posture, at a fixed distance. Therefore, in this study, we developed a system to support measuring human height in a bent-knee posture at different distances by extracting the coordinates of human skeletal landmarks using MediaPipe Pose Estimation. Moreover, our system also uses a multiple linear regression model to improve the accuracy of human height estimation. From the experimental results, our model has a relatively low error of about 2.46 cm (~1.44%). In the future, the research will be extended to support measuring human height in different postures such as sitting, walking, lying down, etc.
