title: Visualization of the relief of the human body using stereo photography and quantification of its parameters.
abstract: An improved method for digital stereo photography for a living object allowed us to register the relief of human back as the indicator of dysplastic process or effectiveness of its treatment. We proposed a set of relief parameters to evaluate quantitatively the shape of the back in the dynamics. Three methods of assessment of varying difficulty are discussed. The safety and accessibility of the method of stereo photography allows us to study the development of dysplastic processes at the early stage, first of all in children.
