BodyWHAT determine the percentage of fat in your body one photo

Do you want to easily find out how much you fat? As reflected in the excess of your appeal? With you - photos, but with BodyWHAT - entertaining report on your body.

desire for a flat tummy, normal weight and just good shape means only one thing: you are not completely satisfied with the reflection in the mirror. But if your claim is justified? As far as they are objective? In search of answers, you will sooner or later want to estimate how much body fat in your body: how many of them, or not enough. To do this, the Internet will offer you to calculate the body mass index, to buy himself a caliper (a special device to measure the thickness of the fat folds) do MRIs or take a few unimaginable procedures a la tokoterapiya.

We will not defend or denounce this or that method, but it will offer you a very, very unusual alternative - determination of percent body fat on your selfie. Sounds strange, so you need to understand.

BodyWHAT

BodyWHAT experiment created by two young French, who wanted to show how much you can say about the health of his photographs. Recently, their venture has received a good financial support for further development and was lodged in the large mass of online publications. Now the web service is in beta stage, not all features are implemented yet. Something severely lacking, for example registration on Facebook profile. Oh well, tie by e-mail.

In the first stage you will be offered to specify standard data: height, weight, gender, age, what sports do you do. By the way, the system only works with men, treatment girlish roundness added later.

BodyWHAT provides the proper level of privacy: Your photos will never get to the public, but the reports - with your permission.

After verifying the entered information from you need a body shot. Of course, it should be as qualitative. Face and lower limbs to photograph is not necessarily, as long as the body has not been rotated with respect to the lens.

Next you are asked to mark on the frame navel and nipples. Then a clever algorithm processes the image and will place it on the anchor points on the contour of your body. The better will be your photo, the more accurate the results will be. Arrange the markers according to the example, if somewhere failure occurred. In my case, it was quite a bit of movement.

A few seconds of waiting, and BodyWHAT create "impression" of your body. Note: you will force beheaded, even if the photographed face.

A little later, you will be presented the same report, and in addition to it-and 3D-model of your "carcass."

BodyWHAT reports on the following indicators:

• the percentage of fat in the body;
• Sexuality and muscularity (determined in comparison with the other members and are not something serious);
• width of the shoulders and waist;
• fat mass and body;
• body mass index (BMI) and the index of lean body mass (FFMI).

Below is other supporting information, among which particularly interesting seemed to me the last tab. It is possible to visualize how it will look like the body, if you can build muscles or fat gain lucky.

And here, it seems to me, lies the main purpose of the project - to motivate users to engage themselves. Under the same purpose given to commenting, where other people will be able to praise you for the achieved shape or cheering on the path of its improvement.

conclusion

How true BodyWHAT said fat? Maybe web service is similar to the sensational brainchild of MicrosoftWho made a lot of mistakes in determining the age of a snapshot? I have read absolutely opposite responses. The reason for that can be as software flaws and sloppy shots. According to the developers themselves, the accuracy is not as high as might be desired. But in the future due to more sophisticated algorithms, and many thousands of new photos index increase. In my particular case, the results look like the truth. And just had fun. I recommend to try.
