Abstract
A computer-implemented method for scaling an object is described. Two or more lines are generated on a display of the mobile device. The user is imaged with a camera of the mobile device. The image of the user is displayed on the display of the mobile device. Upon determining the feature of the user aligns with the first of the two or more lines on the display of the mobile device, an image of the user is captured. A number of pixels per unit of distance are determined based at least in part on a number of pixels between a predetermined point on the captured image and the feature of the user, and a predetermined distance between a camera of the mobile device and the first of the two or more lines on the display.
