Abstract

In this paper we present a vision system to detect BMI from images. The proposed system segments the image and extracts the most important features, from these features a classifier is trained. An analysis of the results with different classification techniques is presented in the experimental results. The results show that the system can obtain good classification accuracies using images under controlled conditions.
