In this work we present an algorithm for extracting morphological measurement from 3-D human scans acquired using Kinect v2 devices. The algorithm objective is to provide computation of classical body measures, including height, waist circumference and hip circumference and measures related to the shape, such as area and volume. It is independent from the pose and robust to noise. Exploiting the obtained measures we calculate several indices, such as waist-to-hip ratio and Barix.
