Original Abstract

BackgroundPrecise anthropometric data are vital for ergonomic assessment and farm machinery design. Manual methods, although dependable, are labor-intensive and susceptible to error.ObjectiveThis study aimed to develop and validate a computer vision (CV) based non-contact system for anthropometric measurements, focusing on stature, vertical reach, trochanteric height, and chest circumference.MethodsAn Intel RealSense D435i stereo camera with OpenCV, mediapipe captured images from three angles (front, diagonal, side) at 2.5-3.5 m. Thirty-two participants (16 male, 16 female) were measured, with manual anthropometry as reference. Accuracy was assessed using mean absolute difference (MAD) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), while reliability was examined via intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC,
