I’m designing an app that will measure body parts to see which accessory fits best. I wonder if the camera of a Smartphone has this capability and how to instantiate it in the project

To measure a height would need a scale to compare , under what conditions would this measure ?
– Motta
would be in centimeters
– Carlos Alberto
the scale is the least, the problem would be knowing what is to compare
– Carlos Alberto
It is possible, but the main problem in my point of view is how it will be used, that is, if it hits the photo of the front arm, it is a measure, if it hits from top to bottom, another measure.. Not to mention that each camera treats different lens depth and aperture, which can also generate different results..
– Carlos Bridi
this could be solved with an instruction on how to take the photo
– Carlos Alberto
the technology of smartphones has reached this level I feel inform you

Currently only the Google Tango project can make measurements and that I still know there are only two mobile phones on the market with this capacity More information: https://get.google.com/tango/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvgPrZNp4So

Answer: yes, it is possible. Did it help you? Right? It didn’t help because, while it’s a valid answer to your question, it’s broad and generic (exactly the way your question is). You will notice that I put the tag [tag:image processing], and the reason is that it is possible to do this you want by processing images captured by the camera. But this is complex and involves some tasks: 1) identifying and separating the body part (or the whole person); 2) estimating the size and height of this separate "object".

The two tasks have their complexities. I suggest you take a closer look at these issues and then post a more objective question (for example, how to segment a person in an image). It will be useful to take a look at the questions that already exist in the tag here, and study a little Opencv (the most popular library to help you do what you need).
