Rapid 3-Dimensional Anthropometry by Semiautomatic Data Acquisition and Processing

Abstract: A semiautomatic anthropometric caliper was developed to accelerate and simplify anthropometric data acquisition. A technical slide caliper, connected via optical data cable interface to a standard PC, was amended with a data-input switch. A data sheet was filled in with consecutive measurements in 30 volunteers and compared with 30 fully manually performed and transmitted examinations on the identical volunteer population. To examine the reliability of the semiautomatic measurements, repeat measurements were p… Show more

“…4 A similar intrasubject variability was considered highly acceptable in other systems. 7,19 This thus suggests that the proposed system has high validity in anthropometry. Several factors, including sex, weight, height, age, and ethnicity, may influence the topographical presentation of patients.…”

“…Those methods are difficult to use to assess the results of various types of craniofacial surgery. Moreover, although 3-dimensional (3D) anthropometric equipment is currently available, it has limited applicability in office settings [3][4][5][6]. Many physicians still use direct anthropometry or life-size printed photos [7][8][9].…”
