	abstract = {To improve somatotype and realize rapid customization of clothing, this study proposed a body-shape recognition
method based on the front and side body photos. The shape parameters such as angles, heights, lengths, and ratios at
the waist-abdomen-hip position were measured or calculated based on the manual and three-dimensional (3D) point
cloud data of 180 young men. Through analysis, four morphological parameters were determined to classify the
waist-abdomen-hip shape and establish the classification rules of the four body types (fat, normal, forward fat and
obese). Finally, according to the front and side photos of the human body, the orthogonal silhouettes were extracted to
obtain the four parameters that can be used to distinguish the waist-abdomen-hip body shape of young men, and the
photo-based recognition method of the waist-abdomen-hip body shape could be realized automatically. The verification
results showed that the recognition accuracy ratio reaches 93.3\%, indicating that the waist-abdomen-hip shape
identification system using this body-shape recognition method based on body photos is effective and can provide a
basis for personalized clothing customization to satisfy the individual needs of the consumers.},
