title: The development of a 3-dimensional anthropometric measuring technique.
abstract: Two-dimensional anthropometric data for a particular population are usually difficult to find. Three-dimensional information is almost non-existant for any group of people. This paucity of three-dimensional data is not so much due to an absence of a requirement, but to a lack of suitable measurement techniques. This article discusses, briefly, a number of possible three-dimensional anthropometric measuring methods. It then goes on to describe in detail a simple, quick and sufficiently accurate technique which has been used recently for recording facial shape.
