Various examples are provided for obtaining body measurements of a user, predicting body measurements of a user, and/or the like. Examples include a coded dimensioning garment having a stretchable fabric that conforms to a wearer's body without substantial compression or distortion of the skin. The garment can include measurement markings of known sizes at one or more known locations on the fabric. Methods are provided for predicting body measurements from a user. Image(s) of a user wearing the garment in a reference pose are captured and can be uploaded to a body measurement application. The real-world dimensions can be converted to pixel dimensions in the same ratio as the real world dimensions and inputted into a prediction model to generate measurements from areas of interest on the user.

Devices and methods for extracting body measurements from 2D images

A fabric for use in apparel of the type used for physiological monitoring of prescribed body functions has one or more elongated bands of elastic material which is stretchable in the longitudinal direction. Each such elastic band includes at least one conductive wire affixed to or formed therein in a curved pattern. A garment and a system of the type used for physiological monitoring of prescribed body functions includes such a fabric and a monitoring unit monitoring electrical parameters of the included conductive wires.
