Description

  The present invention relates to a measuring method and a measuring system for manufacturing clothes according to a user's body shape.

  Conventionally, when making clothes according to the body shape of the user, for example, the user goes to the store and an employee of the store who has knowledge and skills regarding tailoring of clothes uses a measure etc. to measure the body parts of the user. It is common to take steps such as measuring the size of the item and making clothes according to the dimensions of the obtained parts. Such a procedure is not only very complicated for the user side, but also troublesome for the store side, and in order to allocate personnel with measuring skills to the store, it is necessary to pay a considerable amount of labor and personnel. There is a cost for education. As a result, it is difficult for users to tailor their clothes in terms of both labor and cost.

  For this reason, in order to automate procedures related to measurement, etc. and improve convenience for users, a clothing ordering system or the like as disclosed in Patent Document 1 below has been proposed.

JP, 2003-301313, A

  However, the clothing order receiving system described in Patent Document 1 is convenient for users from the viewpoint of labor, but for the store side, users (expected wearers) use expensive optical devices such as lasers. ) Need to scan your body type. For this reason, the cost becomes higher than the conventional method of measuring by hand.

  In view of the above situation, the present invention is to provide a measuring method and a measuring system which can measure the user's body shape accurately and easily at the time of manufacturing clothes according to the user's body shape. is there.

The present invention takes a set of images including at least one of a front view and a rear view of a user, and a side view, and based on the size of a reference object posted so that the size can be read in the set of images. Is a measuring method of acquiring the original size as a reference of the size in the image, and measuring the measurement points of each part of the user's body using the original size , wherein the reference object is the chest or abdomen of the user. Alternatively, at least one of the back surface is displayed along the surface of the user's body, and at least one of the distance in the front-rear direction and the vertical distance between the reference object and the acromion point of the user is measured. The measurement method is characterized in that an actual size correction coefficient for multiplying the measured value of the measured position based on the original size is determined based on the measured distance .

  Thus, in this way, each part of the user's body can be measured from the image acquired by simple shooting, so that the user's time and effort can be greatly reduced in the production of clothing. In addition, no special knowledge or skills are required for measuring, and no special tools or expensive tools are required.

  In the measuring method of the present invention, it is preferable that the reference object is posted so that the original size dimension in the horizontal direction and the original size dimension in the vertical direction can be obtained from the image. The actual size value of each part can be calculated by using different standards.

  In the measuring method of the present invention, the shoulder inclination, which is the vertical distance between the acromion point and the center point of the throat, and the front shoulder degree, which is the distance in the anteroposterior direction between the acromion point and the center point of the neck. , It is preferable to measure at least one of the degree of flexion and extension, which is the distance in the anteroposterior direction between the center point of the back of the neck and the back of the lower scapula, and reflect it in the pattern of the garment to be manufactured. It is possible to acquire the shoulder inclination, the front shoulder degree, and the flexion / extension degree, which are difficult to obtain by the normal measurement method, and reflect them in the clothing pattern as the unique body type element.

  In the measuring method of the present invention, a postcard or a postcard having the same size as the postcard can be used as the reference item.

  The present invention also relates to a measuring system characterized by being configured to execute the above-mentioned measuring method.

  According to the measuring method and the measuring system of the present invention, various excellent effects as described below can be obtained.

(I) According to the invention described in claim 1 of the present invention, since each part of the user's body is measured from the image acquired by the simple photographing, the labor for the user is greatly reduced and the measurement is performed. No special knowledge or skills are required, and no special tools or expensive tools are required. Therefore, in manufacturing clothing according to the body shape of the user, the body shape of the user can be accurately measured at low cost. Moreover, since the reference object is posted at an appropriate place for the measurement, the measurement can be performed with higher accuracy, and the reference object and the user's acromion point in the front-back direction or the vertical direction can be used to By determining the original size correction coefficient, more accurate measurement can be performed.

  (II) As in the invention according to claim 2 of the present invention, if the reference object is posted so as to be able to acquire the original dimension in the horizontal direction and the original dimension in the vertical direction from the image, respectively, Since it is possible to calculate the actual size value of each part by using different standards, it is possible to measure with higher accuracy.

( III ) According to the invention of claim 3 of the present invention, peculiar body type elements such as shoulder inclination, front shoulder degree, and flexion degree are reflected in the pattern of the clothing, so that a clothing more suited to the body shape of the user can be obtained. Can be manufactured.

( IV ) If the official postcard or the postcard of the same size as the official postcard is used as the reference item as in the invention according to claim 4 of the present invention, it is almost certainly present in the store or the user's home, and The size is fixed, and it is small and lightweight, so it is especially convenient. Moreover, it is easy to obtain the actual size in both the horizontal and vertical directions.

( V ) According to the invention described in claim 5 of the present invention, the measurement can be performed more easily by automating or semi-automating the measurement procedure.

It is a figure which illustrates typically the image used for this invention and a measurement location, (A) is a front view which image | photographed a user, (B) is a side view which imaged a user. It is a flowchart explaining the procedure of implementation of this invention.

  Hereinafter, a procedure for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  1 and 2 show an example of a measuring method and a measuring system according to the present invention. 1A and 1B are images that are photographed and used for measurement when the present invention is implemented. A front view and a side view are respectively shown, and each measurement location is schematically shown in the image. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the procedure of this embodiment.

  In this embodiment, first, in step S1 (see FIG. 2), the user photographs two images, a front view and a side view, as shown in FIGS. 1 (A) and 1 (B). At this time, it is preferable that the user wears thin underwear or the like so that the figure can be easily seen from the image.

  When photographing, as shown in FIGS. 1 (A) and 1 (B), a reference object 1 serving as a reference for the dimensions is posted on the front side along the surface of the user's body so that the dimensions can be read from the image. At this time, for example, a government postcard is used as the reference item 1, and it is convenient and affixed to the abdomen (shown by a solid line) or chest (dashed line) of the user with cellophane tape or double-sided tape. It can surely follow the surface of the person's body. Note that the posting position of the reference object 1 is not limited to the position shown here. Any position may be used as long as it serves as a dimension reference. Instead of posting in this front view, it can also be posted in a side view taken next. However, for simple and accurate measurement, it is particularly suitable to post at the position shown here.

  Further, the number of reference objects 1 to be posted is not limited to one, and a plurality of items may be posted. In that case, for example, the steps of acquisition to measurement / calculation of the original size described later (steps S4 to S12; see FIG. 2) are executed for each reference object 1, and the measured values obtained from each reference object 1 are averaged. It is also possible to increase the accuracy of measurement with, for example, measure the measurement point located relatively above with reference to the reference item 1 posted on the chest, and below the reference item 1 posted on the abdomen with reference to the reference item 1. It is also possible to acquire the measurement of the measurement position located.

  Note that, here, even if a rear view is taken instead of the front view, the measurement can be performed by the same procedure in the following steps (in that case, the reference object 1 corresponds to the chest or abdomen on the back of the user). It is appropriate to post it in the same position), and it is of course possible to photograph both the front view and the rear view and use them for the following measurement procedure. An example will be described in which a set of images is taken.

  The reference item 1 may be, for example, a ruler, a measure, a graph paper, a pen, a postcard, or the like. Any material may be used as long as it has a shape that is thin enough to fit the surface of the user's body and can serve as a dimensional reference. It is almost certainly present in a store or a user's home, has an appropriate size and size, and is lightweight enough to be attached to the surface of the user's body. It is especially convenient to use the official postcards listed above, or those that are the same size as the official postcards.

  Further, it is more preferable that the reference object 1 is posted in a form in which the dimensions can be acquired in two directions, that is, the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. When a rectangular object such as the above-mentioned official postcard is used as the reference object 1, if it is posted so that one side is horizontal and the other side is vertical, it will be horizontal. A side can be a horizontal reference, and a side along a vertical direction can be a vertical reference.

  When a government postcard or a postcard of the same size is used as the reference item 1, it is determined that the long side is 14.8 cm and the short side is 10 cm. As shown in FIG. 1 (A), when the reference object 1 which is a postcard is posted in a direction in which the long side is horizontal, 14.8 of the long side is 1 cm in the horizontal direction and a short side. The dimensions in the image can be read with one tenth of the side being one centimeter in the vertical direction.

  When using a ruler, a measure, or the like as the reference object 1, for example, prepare two reference objects 1 in the horizontal direction and reference objects 1 in the vertical direction, and display them respectively along the horizontal direction or the vertical direction. Alternatively, for example, two front views of a front view showing one reference object 1 along the horizontal direction and a front view showing the same reference object 1 along the vertical direction may be photographed. .

  Note that, for example, it is possible to read the dimensions from the front view of the reference object 1 which is a ruler or a measure along the horizontal direction, and apply the dimensions in the vertical direction as well, but for more accurate measurement. In addition, it is preferable that the dimensions can be read from the reference object 1 in both the horizontal direction and the vertical direction as described above.

  In step S1 (see FIG. 2), first, with the user posting the reference object 1 on the front, adjust the camera to the same height as the reference object 1, and from a distance of, for example, 0.5 meters to 2 meters, A front view as shown in FIG. 1A is photographed. At this time, it is preferable that the user stands upright with both arms hung sideways on the body, and the left and right wrists are oriented 90 degrees apart from each other. For example, the palm of the right hand faces the left of the user, and the palm of the left hand faces the back of the user. This is because in the subsequent measurement procedure, the wrist width 10 and the wrist thickness 11 are measured from the same front view.

  Next, the user changes the orientation as it is by 90 degrees and photographs the side view as shown in FIG.

  The photographing of these one set of images may be performed by, for example, an employee at a clothing store, or the user himself / herself may use the self-timer function of the camera. A normal film camera or a digital camera may be used for capturing an image, or various imaging devices such as a mobile phone and a smartphone equipped with a camera function can be used.

  Next, in step S2 (see FIG. 2), the photographed image is acquired by a clothing manufacturer such as a clothing manufacturer. At this time, if the image is photographed as digital data by a digital camera, a smartphone or the like in step S1, the digital data may be transmitted to the clothing maker as it is, which is very simple. When the photograph is taken as an analog photograph by a film camera or the like, the photograph may be sent by mail or the like, or it may be converted into digital data using a scanner and the data may be transmitted.

  It should be noted that this step S2 is not necessary when the shop that has taken the image in step S1 directly manufactures clothes.

  In this embodiment, the procedure involving the user is only the above steps S1 and S2. Basically, the user will not be involved after the next step S3, and it is sufficient for the user to take two images and send the data to the clothes maker or send the photo if necessary. . For this reason, the user does not have to take the troublesome procedure of measuring in order to have clothes manufactured according to the body shape, and it is simple.

  In some cases, the user does not even have to go to the store. The user uses ordinary tools such as official postcards and rulers as the reference item 1 (see FIG. 1), digital cameras and smartphones as the imaging device, and takes the necessary images by himself at home to make clothes. Can be sent to someone. In this way, for the user, the time and effort required for the user to make the clothes can be greatly reduced. It is needless to say that the user may be appropriately involved at the stage of temporary stitching or in other situations as needed.

  Further, when the shooting in step S1 is performed at a clothing store or the like, it is not necessary for the store side to perform the measurement that requires a lot of knowledge, and a simple shooting that does not require special knowledge or skill is sufficient. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the cost of arranging personnel having a measuring skill in the store and the labor cost required for the measuring work. No special tool or expensive tool such as a scanner using a laser described in Patent Document 1 is required. Therefore, the measuring method and the measuring system of the present embodiment are easy to use even in a store having a business format such as a chain store selling clothes. In addition, this is of course a great advantage for the user in terms of cost.

  Next, as step S3 (see FIG. 2), the clothing manufacturer inspects the acquired two images (see FIGS. 1A and 1B). It is confirmed whether or not each measured portion is clear enough to be read, whether or not there is blur in the image, whether or not the size can be read from the reference object 1, and if there is a problem, the process returns to step S1 and the shooting is performed again. If there is no problem, the process proceeds to the next step S4 (see FIG. 2).

  In step S4, the size (hereinafter, referred to as the original size) to be the original reference for the measurement is acquired from the reference object 1 posted in the front view (see FIG. 1A). As described above, when a postcard is used as the reference item 1 and the long side is posted in the direction along the horizontal direction as shown in FIG. 1 (A), 14.8th of the long side is horizontal. 1 cm in the original size in the vertical direction, and 1/10 of the short side is 1 cm in the original size in the vertical direction. When a ruler, a measure, or the like is used as the reference item 1, the scale of the ruler or the measure can be used as it is as the original size.

  In the following step S5 (see FIG. 2), the distance 2x in the front-rear direction between the reference object 1 posted in the side view (see FIG. 1B) and the acromion point (shoulder point, SP), and the vertical direction. The distance 2y in the direction is measured, and in step S6, a value called "original size correction coefficient" is determined based on the distances 2x and 2y. The acromion points are generally important reference points in measurement, and are shown as measurement points b1 and b2 in FIGS. 1A and 1B.

  Here, the concept of the original size correction coefficient will be described. The fact that there is always a distance between the measurement points of the user's body and the reference object 1 must be taken into consideration when applying the original dimensions to the measurement values at the measurement points in each step described later. . For example, assuming that the distance between the measurement point a1 and the measurement point a2 is measured in the front view (see FIG. 1 (A)), the reference object 1 is seen from the camera at the time of photographing, rather than the measurement points a1 and a2. It is located near. For this reason, the reference object 1 is relatively larger than the object at the measurement points a1 and a2, and the original size read from the reference object 1 in the front view is measured at the measurement point a1- If it is applied to the distance between a2 as it is, the measured value of the distance will be smaller than the actual distance. Therefore, in order to obtain a value close to the actual distance, it is necessary to multiply the measured value based on the original size by an appropriate coefficient for correction, and this is referred to as "original size correction coefficient" here.

The case where the diameter 3 of the user's neck is obtained will be specifically described. The diameter 3 of the neck is obtained as the distance between the measurement points a1 and a2 in the front view (see FIG. 1A). However, in order to explain the concept of the original size correction coefficient, it should be noted that the procedure of measurement and calculation is only explained by taking the case of the neck diameter of 3 as an example. The above procedure is performed in step S7, which will be described later, instead of in steps S5 to S6). For example, in the image of the front view, the length of the horizontal long side of the reference article 1 which is a postcard is x pixels (or x centimeters), and the distance between the measurement points a1 and a2 is 0.6x pixels (or 0.6 x centimeter), the distance between the measurement points a1 and a2 based on the original dimension in the horizontal direction is 14.8 x (0.6 x / x) = 8.88 centimeter. As described above, this dimension is smaller than the actual dimension. Therefore, for example, the actual size correction coefficient α _x1 is multiplied by 1.1 to obtain 8.88 × 1.1 = about 9.8 cm, which is the actual size value between the measurement points a1 and a2 on the user's body, that is, the user. It can be calculated as a neck diameter of 3. The value of the original size correction coefficient used here may vary depending on the reference object 1 at the time of photographing the front view, the distance between the user and the camera, the characteristics of the lens included in the camera, and other conditions. The range is approximately 1.05 or more and 1.6 or less, depending on the imaging device and imaging conditions to be obtained. A specific value of the original size correction coefficient may be empirically determined under specific conditions relating to photographing in carrying out the present invention.

The same can be obtained for dimensions other than the neck diameter of 3. For example, the torso width 8 of the user is obtained from the distance between the measurement points f1 and f2 in the front view (see FIG. 1A). Similar to the case of the diameter 3 of the neck, from the length of the horizontal long side of the reference object 1 in the image and the distance between the measurement points f1 and f2 in the image, between the measurement points f1 and f2 based on the original size. By calculating the distance and further multiplying by the original size correction coefficient α _x2 , it is possible to calculate the actual size value between the measurement points f1 and f2 on the body of the user, that is, the waist width 8 of the user.

Here, even if the value of the original size correction coefficient α _x2 used for calculating the body width 8 is the same as the original size correction coefficient α _x1 used for calculating the neck diameter 3, a certain degree of accuracy can be obtained, but more accurate measurement is performed. If it is desired to carry out, it is preferable to set a value different from the original size correction coefficient α _x1 . This is because the distance between each measurement location and the reference object 1 is different for each measurement location, and the value to be used as the original size correction coefficient is also different for each measurement location.

For example, when the reference object 1 is posted by being attached to the abdomen of the user as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, since the height of the camera is adjusted to the reference object 1, from the camera to the measurement points f1 and f2. Is shorter than the distance to the measurement points a1 and a2. Therefore, the accuracy of the original size correction coefficient α _x2 used for calculating the distance between the measurement points f1 and f2 is smaller than that of the original size correction coefficient α _x1 used for calculating the distance between the measurement points a1 and a2. Then it is desirable. For example, if the original size correction coefficient α _x1 used for calculating the distance between the measurement points a1 and a2 is 1.1, the original size correction coefficient α _x2 used for calculating the distance between the measurement points f1 and f2 is set to 1.07. can do. On the contrary, when the reference object 1 is posted by being attached to the chest of the user as shown by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 1, the original size correction coefficient α _x1 used for calculating the distance between the measurement points a1 and a2 is set. , And may be set smaller than the original size correction coefficient α _x2 used for calculating the distance between the measurement points f1 and f2.

Here, if the original size correction coefficient is individually set for each measurement location, the accuracy is theoretically increased, but in reality, it is not necessary to make such a strict setting. This is because it takes a great deal of time to empirically determine the original size correction coefficient separately for all the measurement points, and an error is inevitably caused when the user's front view or side view is photographed. In the present embodiment, from the front view (see FIG. 1 (A)), the neck diameter 3 (measurement point a1-a2), shoulder width 4 (measurement point b1-c-b2), shoulder inclination 5 (measurement point c-). b1 or b2 vertical distance), chest width 6 (measurement points d1-d2) and arm width 7 (measurement points e1-e2) are measured and calculated from the front view with the original size correction coefficient α _x1 . Width 8 (measurement points f1-f2), hem width 9 (measurement points g1-g2), wrist width 10 (measurement points h1-h2), wrist thickness 11 (measurement points h3-h4) The correction coefficient α _x2 is used. Further, from the side view (see FIG. 1B), the front shoulder degree 12 (distance in the anteroposterior direction of the measurement point b2-i), the flexion / extension degree 13 (distance in the anteroposterior direction of the measurement point jk), the chest thickness 14 ( When measuring and calculating the measurement points d3 to d4) and the arm thickness 15 (measurement points e3 to e4), the original size correction coefficient α _x3 is used. Further, in measuring and calculating the sleeve length 16 (distance in the vertical direction of the measurement point b2-h1 or h2) and the length 17 (distance in the vertical direction of the measurement point c-1) from the front view (see FIG. 1A). Is the original size correction coefficient α _y , and when measuring and calculating the body thickness 18 (measurement points f3 to f4) and the hem thickness 19 (measurement points g3 to g4) from the side view (see FIG. 1B), α _x4 is used. That is, each measurement location is divided into five groups according to the positional relationship with the reference object 1, etc., and the original size correction coefficients α _x1 , α _x2 , α _x3 , α _x4 , and α _y are set for each.

Further, the values of these original size correction coefficients α _x1 , α _x2 , α _x3 , α _x4 , and α _y may be empirically determined as described above, but if necessary, they may be measured with the reference object 1. It is also possible to make it fluctuate according to the distance 2x in the front-back direction or the distance 2y in the vertical direction with respect to the point (acromial point) b2. This is because the position of the reference object 1 with respect to each part of the user's body may change depending on the body shape of the user, such as the chest and the waist. Then, in the present embodiment, the distances 2x and 2y in the front-rear direction and the vertical direction between the reference object 1 and the acromion points b1 and b2 are used as an index indicating the body shape.

  For example, in the front view (see FIG. 1A), the larger the distance 2x in the front-rear direction is, the larger the reference object 1 is in the body of the user, and the smaller the distance 2x in the front-rear direction is, the larger the reference object 1 is. Appears smaller than the user's body. Therefore, depending on the measurement location, the larger the distance 2x, the larger the coefficient by which the measurement value based on the original size should be multiplied, and the smaller the distance 2x, the smaller the coefficient by which the measurement value based on the original size should be multiplied. , It will be desirable to increase the accuracy of measurement. Similarly, since the vertical distance 2y influences the size of the reference object 1 with respect to each part of the user's body in the image, the size of the vertical distance 2y is also taken into consideration when determining each original size correction coefficient. If you put it in, it is effective to increase the accuracy of measurement.

In this embodiment, the original size correction coefficients α _x1 and α _x2 are changed in value according to the magnitude of the distance 2x in the front-rear direction. For example, if the distance 2x is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value (for example, a certain number of pixels in an image acquired under a certain shooting condition and a certain resolution, or a predetermined length based on the original size dimension in the horizontal direction), the original size correction coefficient If α _x1 is 1.1, the original size correction coefficient α _x2 is 1.07, and if the distance 2x exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the original size correction coefficient α _x1 is 1.13 and the original size correction coefficient α _x2 is 1.1. To do. The original size correction coefficient α _y is changed according to the magnitude of the vertical distance 2y. For example, if the distance 2y is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold, the original size correction coefficient α _{y is set} to 1.07, and if the distance 2y exceeds the predetermined threshold, the original size correction coefficient α _{y is set} to 1.1. The other original size correction coefficients α _x3 and α _x4 are constant regardless of the distances 2x and 2y.

That is, the steps S5 to S6 are procedures for measuring the distances 2x, 2y and determining the original size correction coefficients α _x1 , α _x2 , α _x3 , α _x4 , α _y based on the measured values. The combination of the distances 2x, 2y and the original size correction coefficients α _x1 , α _x2 , α _x3 , α _x4 , α _y determined based on the distances 2x, 2y is the above-mentioned combination (the original size correction coefficient based on the distance 2x. It is not limited to determining α _x1 and α _x2 and determining the original size correction coefficient α _y based on the distance 2y). For example, when determining the original size correction coefficients α _x1 and α _x2 , the magnitude of the distance 2y can be taken into consideration in addition to the distance 2x. Further, when the original size correction coefficients α _x1 , α _x2 , α _x3 , α _x4 and α _y are not changed and the original size correction coefficients are not changed based on the distances 2x and 2y, steps S5 and S6 are performed. It is unnecessary. In addition, for example, when the horizontal distance 2x is taken into consideration in determining each original size correction coefficient, but the vertical distance 2y is not taken into consideration, the measurement of the distance 2y is omitted. Parts may be omitted.

In the subsequent step S7 and subsequent steps, the measurement and measurement of each dimension portion are performed based on the original size correction coefficients α _x1 , α _x2 , α _x3 , α _x4 , and α _y determined in step S6.

  In step S7 (see FIG. 2), the distance between the measurement points in the front view (see FIG. 1A) is measured, and the neck diameter 3, shoulder width 4, shoulder inclination 5, chest width 6, arms are measured. Calculate width 7.

As described above, the neck diameter 3 is calculated by multiplying the distance between the measurement points a1 and a2 based on the original size dimension in the horizontal direction by the original size correction coefficient α _x1 . The measurement points a1 and a2 are points on both sides of the neck.

The shoulder width 4 is calculated by multiplying the distance between the measurement points b1-c-b2 based on the original size dimension in the horizontal direction by the original size correction coefficient α _x1 . The measurement points b1 and b2 are both acromion points, and the measurement point c is the center point of the throat. Shoulder width 4 is measured as the distance from one acromion point to the other acromion point via the center point behind the neck if it is a normal measuring method using a measure, etc. In the example, the center point of the throat in the image can be used for measurement.

The shoulder inclination 5 is calculated by multiplying the vertical distance between the measurement point b1 or b2 and the measurement point c based on the original size in the horizontal direction by the original size correction coefficient α _x1 .

The chest width 6 is calculated by multiplying the distance between the measurement points d1 and d2 based on the original size in the horizontal direction by the original size correction coefficient α _x1 . The measurement points d1 and d2 are positions on both sides of the chest.

The wrist width 10 is calculated by multiplying the distance between the measurement points h1 and h2 based on the original size in the horizontal direction by the original size correction coefficient α _x2 . The measurement points h1 and h2 are the positions of both ankles of the wrist.

The wrist thickness 11 is calculated by multiplying the distance between the measurement points h3 to h4 based on the original size in the horizontal direction by the original size correction coefficient α _x2 . The measurement points h3 and h4 are positions on the front and back of the wrist.

  Next, as step S9 (see FIG. 2), the distance between the measurement points in the side view (see FIG. 1B) is measured, and the front shoulder degree 12, flexion and extension degree 13, chest thickness 14, arm thickness 15 are measured. To calculate.

The front shoulder degree 12 is calculated by multiplying the front-rear direction distance between the measurement point b2 and the measurement point i based on the original size in the horizontal direction by the original size correction coefficient α _x3 . The measurement point i is the center point of the neck.

The degree of flexion / extension 13 is calculated by multiplying the distance in the front-rear direction between the measurement point j and the measurement point k based on the original size dimension in the horizontal direction by the original size correction coefficient α _x3 . The measurement point j is the center point behind the neck, and the measurement point k is the point behind the lower scapula.

The chest thickness 14 is calculated by multiplying the distance between the measurement points d3 to d4 based on the original size dimension in the horizontal direction by the original size correction coefficient α _x3 . The measurement points d3 and d4 are positions in front of and behind the chest.

The arm thickness 15 is calculated by multiplying the distance between the measurement points e3 to e4 based on the original size dimension in the horizontal direction by the original size correction coefficient α _x3 . The measurement points e3 and e4 are positions that come into contact with the front and rear of the upper arm.

  Next, in step S10 (see FIG. 2), the distance between the measurement points in the front view (FIG. 1A) is measured, and the sleeve length 16 and the length 17 are calculated.

The sleeve length 16 is calculated by multiplying the vertical size distance between the measurement point b2 and the measurement point h1 or h2 based on the vertical size dimension by the size correction coefficient α _y .

The length 17 is calculated by multiplying the vertical distance between the measuring point c and the measuring point 1 based on the original size in the vertical direction by the original size correction coefficient α _y . The measurement point 1 is the position of the metacarpophalangeal joint.

  Next, as step S11 (see FIG. 2), the distance between the measurement points in the side view (FIG. 1B) is measured, and the body thickness 18 and the hem thickness 19 are calculated.

The body thickness 18 is calculated by multiplying the distance between the measurement points f3 to f4 based on the original size dimension in the horizontal direction by the original size correction coefficient α _x4 .

The measurement points g3 and g4 are positions corresponding to the front and back of the waist.

  The steps S4 to S11 may be performed manually by a human, but may be automatically or semi-automatically performed by using computer software having an appropriate image processing function.

  From each value calculated in the above steps S7 to S11, the neck circumference, chest circumference, arm circumference, waist circumference, hem circumference, wrist circumference, and sleeve length are calculated in step S12 (see FIG. 2).

  The neck circumference is calculated based on the diameter 3 of the user's neck obtained in step S7. In the case of a neck, the cross section is close to a circle, and therefore, the dimension around the neck can be calculated by multiplying the distance between the measurement points a1 and a2 by the circumference ratio of 3.14. At this time, considering that the cross section of the neck is not a perfect circle, the neck size may be more accurately obtained by further multiplying by another coefficient determined empirically.

  The chest circumference is calculated based on the chest width 6 obtained in step S7 and the chest thickness 14 obtained in step S9. In the case of a chest, since the cross section is close to an ellipse, the chest width 6 is considered to be the major axis and the chest thickness 14 is considered to be the minor axis, and the chest circumference is calculated as the circumference of the ellipse. As a calculation formula for the calculation, a generally known approximation formula for the circumference of an ellipse can be used. Here again, considering that the cross section of the chest is not a true ellipse, the size around the chest may be more accurately obtained by further multiplying by another coefficient determined empirically.

  For the arm circumference, waist circumference, hem circumference, and wrist circumference, arm width 7 obtained in step S7, arm thickness 15 obtained in step S9, waist width 8 obtained in step S8, and body thickness 18 obtained in step S11, respectively. , The hem width 9 obtained in step S8 and the hem thickness 19 obtained in step S11, and the wrist width 10 and wrist thickness 11 obtained in step S8 are used as the major axis or the minor axis to form an elliptic circumference similar to the chest circumference. calculate.

  The sleeve length is calculated as the sum of 1/2 of the shoulder width 4 and sleeve length 16.

  Although this step S12 may be performed manually by a human, it may be automatically or semi-automatically performed by using computer software having an appropriate spreadsheet function. Further, the flow of steps S4 to S12 may be executed by the same computer software. Furthermore, it is also possible to automatically read the image taken in step S1 as data by dedicated computer software and automatically execute the series of steps up to step S12.

  Also, for convenience of explanation, in the above, step S7 of measuring and calculating neck diameter 3, shoulder width 4, shoulder inclination 5, chest width 6, arm width 7, trunk width 8, hem width 9, wrist width 10, Step S8 of measuring / calculating the wrist thickness 11, step S9 of measuring / calculating the front shoulder degree 12, flexion / extension degree 13, chest thickness 14 and arm thickness 15, step S10 of measuring / calculating the sleeve length 16 and length 17 and the trunk thickness 18, the step S11 of measuring / calculating the hem thickness 19, the neck circumference, the chest circumference, the arm circumference, the waist circumference, the hem circumference, the wrist circumference, and the step S12 of calculating the sleeve length are described in this order. The order of S12 is not limited to this. For example, after measuring from the front view of steps S7, S8, and S10, steps S9 and S11 may be performed to measure from the side view. Further, for example, a procedure in which the chest width 6 and the chest thickness 14 are measured / calculated, the chest circumference is calculated based on this, the torso width 8 and the body thickness 18 are subsequently measured / calculated, and the waist circumference is calculated based on this. But good. It is also possible to execute some steps simultaneously.
