Abstract

Human body is composed of structures like head, neck, torso, two arms and two legs. All the organs in human body are proportional in nature. In this paper, an attempt is made to anticipate the features of torso and leg of human body. Geometric features of the torso, leg and foot from 75 female and 78 male subjects were extracted. Height of a person is used to predict various features like throat to navel length, navel to knee top, knee length, beneath of knee to ankle, ankle to floor, navel to floor, hip to floor, body width near elbow, waist width, thigh width, knee width calf width, ankle width and shoulder width using divine proportion or Golden ratio. Most of the features are envisaged with an accuracy of more than 85% except for waist width which has an accuracy of 79%.
