Computing body mass index (BMI) from face images

What is it about?

In this work, we considered automatic computation of BMI using correlation features from face images. We show that using face detection based facial fiducial points analysis provides good BMI prediction.

Why is it important?

Body mass index (BMI) is used widely as an indicator in general health. Determination of BMI using non-intrusive measurements are of interest and recent advancements in the availability of digital imaging sensors have paved the way for performing quick and automatic measurements. We devised an automatic BMI computation from face images. Experimental results on comparing the correlation coefficients of facial ratios along with the colour feature has higher significance in BMI of a person.
