Airborne ultrasound applied to anthropometry--physical and technical principles.
Airborne ultrasound has been utilized for remote measurement of distance, direction, size, form, volume and velocity. General anthropometrical measurements are performed with a newly constructed real-time linear array scanner. To make full use of the method, we expect a rapid development of high-frequency ultrasound transducers for use in air.
