MUMBAI, India, Oct. 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411030691 A) filed by Dr Yazdani Hasan, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on April 17, 2024, for 'detection of human anthropometric parameters using uav.'

Inventor(s) include Dr Yazdani Hasan; and Kavita Kumari.

The application for the patent was published on Oct. 31, under issue no. 44/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "For many years, anthropometric data have been used for a variety of purposes in the domains of athletics, ergonomics, physical anthropology, and nutrition, where human need variables that arise in these fields are refined. New procedures for collecting body data, software, specialized processing algorithms, and data management tools had to be developed in order to generate anthropometric data in a new method brought about by the disruptive 3D body scanning technology. The development of these components spans over thirty years of research and has proven to be highly productive in the creation of new anthropometric databases across the globe. Yet, there are still a number of issues with 3D body scan processing and management that are connected to the consistency and dependability of the anthropometric data. Different types of anthropometric data, such as 3D landmarks, 3D body mesh, and digital anthropometric measures (such as heights, widths, lengths, and girths) derived from the 3D body scan, can be obtained using 3D body scanning technology. Furthermore, in order to produce a useful mesh, 3D body captures undergo some processing. Processed data is altered from its original form, so it's important to measure the difference between the original and processed forms. Additionally, as processing algorithms are constantly evolving and improving, it may become necessary to update 3D body scan databases on a regular basis. These two points are pertinent to the management of anthropometric data. The core elements of anthropometry are height, weight, head circumference, body mass index (BMI), body circumferences to assess for adiposity (waist, hip, and limbs), and skinfold thickness."
