“…The RMSE error was calculated against a high-resolution laser scanner and was 2.8 mm. In another paper [ 40 ], where Kinect v2 was also used to estimate selected anthropometric parameters, the authors inferred that the differences between the estimated values and the traditional measurements show statistical significance, which confirms the results we obtained, presented in Table 1 . Naufal et al [ 41 ] studied a total of 147 subjects.…”

“…The Kinect sensor is very often used as a tool to scan either the entire figure or selected body segments [ 22 , 28 , 29 , 40 , 41 , 43 ]. However, the direct comparison of errors is complicated by the use of different quality criteria.…”

“…It was also used as a tool supporting the process of estimating the anthropometric parameters of the human body. Some studies concerning this issue described the results obtained in systems based on one [ 9 , 17 , 20 , 40 , 41 ], three [ 42 ], four [ 43 ], and even 16 Kinect sensors [ 19 ]. Taking into account the solution with a single depth camera, the estimation of elementary human anthropometric measures was usually made based on the analysis of several images recorded by the sensor [ 17 , 41 ], as well as a three-dimensional model obtained from a partial or complete scan of the human body [ 9 , 20 ].…”

Anthropometric measurements of the human body are an important problem that affects many aspects of human life. However, anthropometric measurement often requires the application of an appropriate measurement procedure and the use of specialized, sometimes expensive measurement tools. Sometimes the measurement procedure is complicated, time-consuming, and requires properly trained personnel. This study aimed to develop a system for estimating human anthropometric parameters based on a three-dimensional scan of the complete body made with an inexpensive depth camera in the form of the Kinect v2 sensor. The research included 129 men aged 18 to 28. The developed system consists of a rotating platform, a depth sensor (Kinect v2), and a PC computer that was used to record 3D data, and to estimate individual anthropometric parameters. Experimental studies have shown that the precision of the proposed system for a significant part of the parameters is satisfactory. The largest error was found in the waist circumference parameter. The results obtained confirm that this method can be used in anthropometric measurements.
