Abstract

Moiré photography provides a method for quantitative determination of the contours of the human body which requires minimal patient discomfort and provides results without computer or optical processing associated with other methods. The construction and operation of a Moiré apparatus is described and its application for the evaluation of the contours of the human face illustrated.
