Measurement apparatus includes a garment (24, 26) including an elastic fabric (27) having a predefined pattern (28) extending across a surface thereof and configured to be worn over a part of a body of a subject, such that the elastic fabric stretches across the part of the body. An imaging module (30) includes a fastener (40) configured for attachment to a mobile electronic device (32) having a camera module and a conical extension (41) having a rear opening (46), which is configured to be held by the fastener in alignment with the camera module, and a front opening (48), which is larger than the rear opening and is configured to contact and traverse across the fabric. The camera module captures through the front opening images that are indicative of local deformations of the pattern of the fabric.

A camera (30, 80) is configured to capture images of the pattern while contacting and traversing across the surface of the fabric while the subject wears the garment. At least one processor (32, 36, 60) is configured to process the images captured by the camera at multiple locations on the surface of the fabric so as measure a local deformation of the pattern at the multiple locations due to stretching of the fabric, and to compute a dimension of the part of the body responsively to the measured deformation.

Measurement apparatus (20, 60, 90, 100) includes an elastic fabric (22), configured as a garment to be worn over a part of a body of a human subject having an anatomical feature. A plurality of conductive fibers (24, 26, 28, 29, 33, 64, 66, 68, 70, 74, 76, 78, 80, 92, 94, 96, 102, 104) are fixed to the elastic fabric so as to stretch together with the elastic fabric when worn over the part of the body, including at least one fiber configured to extend across the anatomical feature but not around an entire circumference of the part of the body. A controller (30) is coupled to measure an electrical property of each of the conductive fibers in response to stretching of the elastic fabric, and to output indications of both a dimension of the anatomical feature and a circumference of the part of the body based on the measured electrical property.
