The measurement prediction processing of image data provided by subject's side image 1 and 2 of FIGS. 1-2 is illustrated through FIGS. 1-12. The measurement prediction process of system and method 100 begins with developing extracted images by instance segmenting of said images 1 and 2 into extracted side image and extracted frontal 4A and 4C, respectively. This extracted image data may be provided and/or processed through software, such as with at least one of open source software and PixelLib, whereby the extraction subject 200's body from images 1 and 2 is performed to provide extracted image 43 and 46 of FIGS. 4A and 4C. Further processing of extracted image 43 and 46 may comprise decoding of at least one of subject 200's side image 1 and frontal image 2 of FIGS. 1 and 2 and extracted images 43-46 of FIGS. 4B and 4D into red and green and blue matrices using software such as OpenCV may be performed to aid in the development of edge images 44 and 47 such as shown in 4B through 4D. In addition, edge detection, such as canny edge detection, may be performed on the extracted images 4A and 4C to provide subject 200's edge images such as subject 200's side and frontal posture images with inner and outer edges as shown in FIGS. 4B and 4D. Performing high quality monocular depth estimation via heat mapping of the images of 4A and 4C, as well as body instance segmentation with image depth computation may also be completed in the development of edge images 4B and 4D. As at least one of the high quality monocular depth estimation and the heat mapping and person instance segmentation with image depth computation may blur the posture of the desired edge images 44 and 47 outputs, whereby further performance of canny edge detection may be performed as part of the processing of the extracted images of FIGS. 4A and 4C into edge images 4B and 4D leaving only the clear edged outer contour and/or outer contours of subject's 200 images 44 and 47 of FIGS. 4B and 4D.
In figure FIG. 4A, subject 200's side extracted image 43 is shown with subject 200's clothing contours included. Referring FIG. 4B, user 200's side edge image 44 is shown without clothing contours.

At least a portion of pose points 70 is then applied to at least one of subject 200's image 1, 2, 43, 44, 46, 47 of FIGS. 1-4 to develop the subject 200's line segmented side image of FIG. 6 and the line segmented frontal image of FIG. 7 where line segments are drawn between pose landmark points 70 as shown. Pose landmarks or pose landmark points may represent any feature of subject 200's body, such as to identify a given body part, joint, vertex and/or body part feature.
Referring FIG. 6, line segments 84, 85, 86, 87, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 97, 99, 101, 103, 104, 106, 107, 108, others not mentioned, here are shown as applied to subject 200's side image 1 of FIG. 1, connecting pose landmark points, such as represented by pose landmark points 70 of FIG. 5.

At least one line segment as illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7 may be used as part of the development of measurements 13 for subject 200 of FIG. 3, such as equivalent circumference body part measurements.
For each of the pose landmarks, such as pose landmarks 70, a line segment originates at a given pose landmark or point, and is drawn to at least one of a body part contour edge and pose landmark point to get linear distance measurements for subject 200, as shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 7. These linear distance measurements for subject 200's body are developed by scaling linear measurements using said subject's height input, such as subject 200's height as determined by the image height of subject 200 detected from the body height segment determined from images of FIGS. 1, 2, 4A-4D, 6 and 7. Additionally, the subject's height may be entered as part of subject 200's entries as part of at least one of biographic data 21 and user's questionnaire 20 of FIGS. 3 and 13 through 17. The prediction of the at least one of a measurement and body part circumference measurement of the subject 200's body may be based on at least one of said linear measurements and subject's weight and gender is then performed by system and method 100 of FIG. 3, such as through a computer routine such as a the commercially available XGBoost software, others not mentioned here.
In this first exemplary embodiment, histories of numerous subject's real life physical linear measurements and were used in conjunction with the line segment lineal measurement predictions determined by system and method 100 for improved accuracy. In addition, artificial intelligence methods such as the creation of an Application Programing Interface and/or API were used to control features used for training system and method 100. Additionally, the creation of control features used for training system and method 100 were developed in the user interface, such as UI 22 of FIG. 3. The output body part measurements, such as at least one of equivalent circumference measurements of subject 200's neck and chest waist and hip and thigh and calf and elbow and wrist and knee and ankle, determined through only two image inputs, such as image 1 and 2 of FIGS. 1 and 2, along with the user's biographic data of gender, height and weight are therefore the only input requirements for system and method 100 to function and provide at least one of an exercise routine and a nutrition routine. A user of system and method 100 may also be able to enter actual measurement of subject 200's body lineal and circumference measurements into system and method 100, such as via HMI 22, to compare and adjust the predicted lineal and circumference equivalence body part measurements and/or method determined by system and method 100.
