Estimate BMI for Elderly Adults Based on Body Shape Remotely

Remote health monitoring of elderly adults is important. Since Body Mass Index (BMI) is highly correlated to many diseases, it is a good indicator for health monitoring. This paper presents new approaches to estimate BMI from 2D body images and videos. Besides proposing new anthropometric features, we create two visual-body-to-BMI datasets. The simulation results confirm the excellent performance of the proposed method comparing to other methods.
