Abstract

Body Mass Index or BMI is an indicator used to measure body weight whether it is ideal or not. A person's BMI is determined by comparing weight and height which then predicts the standard value category of the body shape from the comparison results. Often BMI is used to determine nutritional status. However, BMI is also often used as a reference for health risks, such as as a determinant of coronary heart disease or as a measuring tool for the diet program of people with diabetes mellitus. The use of smartphones that continues to increase from time to time can be used for ease in calculating a person's BMI. Nutritional status calculator android applications such as BMI calculators are manual tools that require weight and height data input, which are not necessarily the same every time. From the studies conducted, the image processing method is the most effective. The image processing method takes the data needed to calculate BMI through the input image without the need to manually input data or use external tools other than smartphones.
