Digital Anthropometric Video-Imaging Device
Pensacola, FL
Background: In the past, naval aviation candidates were screened anthropometrically by manual measurements. One problem with the manual method was it did not use standard landmarks for measurements. Without standard landmarks, incorrect measurements resulted in some aviators being assigned to the wrong aircraft. Other problems arose because the data could not be directly compared to anthropometric surveys in the literature, and quality control was very difficult. We computerized the process and developed the digital anthropometric video-imaging device (DAVID). The DAVID consists of a personal computer, camera, video-capture software and hardware, digitizing software, and an output device (printer).
