<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To conveniently measure a shape of a periphery of an object to be measured. <P>SOLUTION: In a band, a plurality of panels are connected to one another through joints serving as connection axes parallel to one another, and an inter-panel angle indicating an angle between the panels adjacent to each other through the joint is adjustable. Each joint is provided with an angular sensor for detecting the inter-panel angle. Based on the detected inter-panel angle, the peripheral shape indicating a shape of at least a part of a periphery of an object to be measured, on which the band is mounted, is measured. The present technology is useful, for example, for an abdominal girth measurement apparatus. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
