Height and Weight Estimation

Can someone please help me out on how to do human height and weight estimation in still images. If possibly algorithms related. thank you

Answer 1

[Image Analyst]

Find the height and area using regular image processing methods and then apply some empirical formula easily obtainable. But it will be an estimate since the height will stay the same but the area will change depending on if the person is turned or not.

Thank you image analyst, but, please what does the regular image processing methods entail, because that's why I asked for possible algorithms. Also, in the literature i've read, they estimated it in a very complex way that is hard to understand.

[Image Analyst]

It could entail anything from simple thresholding and summing up the pixels above the threshold, to algorithms so complicated even I can't understand them.

okay thank you

The heights and weights of a sample of 9 students are:

Are what? How is this an answer to Jack's 8 year old question?
