Abstract
A mobile computing device used for measuring the height of an object, such as a human user, may be positioned on a reference surface, such as the ground plane. The reference surface is detected and a position guide is generated in an augmented reality (AR) plane on a display of the mobile computing device. The AR plane enables the object being measured to be positioned at a measurement position located at a predefined distance along the reference surface from the mobile computing device. The top and bottom of the object are detected in an image taken by the mobile computing device. The height of the object is measured based on the predefined distance and a distance between the top and bottom of the object in the image. The height of the object can also be measured with assistance from software development kits (SDKs) included in the mobile computing device.
