Advances in PassFit Portable Anthropometry

My colleague Dr. Daniel Park has been leading work on our fast, efficient PassFit human measurement system. We recently published a paper in Sensors documenting the performance of an early version of the system for estimating body dimensions of clothed individuals in a fraction of a second. (The current system is far more advanced -- these data were gathered over 5 years ago.) We have enjoyed strong support from the U.S. Department of Defense for the development of the system, due to their need for repeatable and reproducible human measurement with minimal operator training. We're currently supporting a pilot deployment of PassFit for the U.S. Air Force, focused on issuing of clothing and equipment. Near term plans include deploying the systems to recruiting stations so that prospective servicemembers can immediately know which planes they'll be eligible to fly.
