Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of how healthy a person is with respect to their body weight. BMI has shown a correlation with various factors like physical health, mental health, popularity. BMI calculation often requires accurate height and weight, which would take manual work to measure. Largescale automation of BMI calculation can be utilized for analyzing various aspects of society and can be used by governments and companies to make effective decisions. Previous works have used only geometric facial features discarding other information, or a data-driven deep learning-based approach in which the amount of data becomes a bottleneck. In this project we are using python CNN (convolution neural networks) algorithm to predict BMI by analysing facial features. CNN will take image as input and then extract facial features from image and based on facial features BMI will be predicted.
