Abstract

There are two prevailing techniques, mechanical and optical profilometers, to measure 3-dimensional configurations of the human skin furrows. The methods have some limitations such as, accuracies or resolutions of the acquired 3-dimensional data and consistencies according to the repeated experiments. We devised an optical profilometer that is called stereo image optical profilometer (SOP) based on stereo image processing techniques. A stereo image is a pair of images that obtained from two cameras which have different angles. From the digital stereo images, the clinical informations for skin can be obtained by some signal processing techniques. In this paper, we focused on the 3-dimensional graphical visualizations of the structures and state of the skin furrows by solving the corresponding problem from the left and right pairs of the stereo images.
