Image processing in R for BMI calculation
"Body Mass Index" is a rather bizarre thing: body.mass.in.kg / height.in.m^2 I have never been able to find any biological or physical meaning for this. Yet clinicians are solemnly advised to measure the weight to the nearest 0.1kg and the height to the nearest 0.1cm. How do you propose to determine the weight from a single image? Even an R package cannot perform magic.

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know about any package for image processing, for example, to
calculate body mass index pased on a picture, silouette or image.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Paul
