Different body-related parameters were extracted. For the extraction, the depth images produced by the Kinect sensor were processed and analysed with a commercial software (SPIP™, Image Metrology,Inc.). Each three-dimensional dataset underwent a number of processes allowing the extraction and quantification of features. More precisely,each point cloud was opportunely calibrated in order to get metric datasets (Fig. 3A) using a calibration coefficient computed by using the hemisphere reference standards. Next, each 3D data set was processed by using a Gaussian filter with a relative cut-off of 1:5 in order to allow the removal of noise and insignificant features and extract of the overall shape (Fig. 3B).
