Devices and methods for extracting body measurements from 2D images

A method for predicting body measurements from a user comprising:

• capturing an image of a user wearing a coded dimensioning garment, wherein the coded dimensioning garment has one or more markings of known size and relationship to each other, and wherein the user is in at least one reference pose near a reference object of known dimensions in the image;
• uploading at least one image of the user in the reference pose to an application;
• forming a target image of the reference object in which the real world dimensions of the reference object are converted to pixel dimensions in the same ratio as the real world dimensions;
• scaling and transforming the image of the user to match the target image to create a transformed user image;
• measuring areas of interest on the user using the one or more markings on the dimensioning garment in the transformed user image to generate user's measurements;
• and
• providing the user's measurements into a prediction model to generate predicted measurements.
