How do you know the frontal area was estimated from H x W? I don't see a source in that document.

EDIT: my mistake. I see the note at the top of that page.

But I believe the figures on that page are collected from multiple sources, and the H x W estimate may not apply to all of them. I'll have to ask Daox - he made that page....
