Abstract
This paper is an introduction to the issues related to obtaining information on the metric dimensions of selected bone segments of a domestic cat based on the analysis of digital images. The main objective is to acquire this data using only image processing methods. Particular emphasis was placed on obtaining data on the proportions between specific bones within the limbs. This data will be used in the process of creating a project of a four-legged walking robot whose structure will be inspired by solutions characteristic of the analyzed species.
