Estimating somatotype from a single‐camera 3D body scanning system
European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 22, Issue 8, Page 1204-1210, August 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT Somatotype is an approach to quantify body physique (shape and body composition). Somatotyping by manual measurement (the anthropometric method) or visual rating (the photoscopic method) needs technical expertize to minimize intra‐ and inter‐observer errors.
