We present a simple method of determining the absolute order of moire fringes formed by the moire shadow topography with a criss-crossed grating. Two experimental methods in this topography are proposed and demonstrated; one is to change the ratio of x and y pitches in a criss-crossed grating after fixing the position of a light source and a camera, and the other is to change the position of a light source and a camera after fixing the ratio of x and y pitches in a criss-crossed grating.

Objectives : This study was performed to find the correlation between moire topography and muscle development ratio of both lower limbs. Methods : 88-general persons who examed general health checkup were enrolled this study. Who coincided the exclusion criteria were left out. The authors practiced Moire Topography by using IBS-2000 and measured difference of contour line and interval between vertical base line of neck and pelvis. We made use of X-SCAN to analyse body component and calculate muscle development ratio of both lower limbs. Results : In this study, we found out that the more interval between vertical base line of neck and pelvis grown large, the more muscle development ratio of both lower limbs got small. So, there was correlation between imbalance of the dorsum muscle and muscle development ratio of both lower limbs.(p>0.05). But others did not have. Conclusion : According to this results, we found out there was correlation between imbalance of lumbar and gluteal region and muscle development ratio of both lower limbs. Apply to clinic, we are able to improve the efficacy of diagnosis and medical treatment.

Shadow moire topography has been used as a noncontact method for measuring the 3-D shapes of objects. The moire fringes are results from the superposition of a master grating and its shadow projected on the surface of an object. But in case of the classical shadow moire method, in general, the resolution is a few tenths of millimeter. It is difficult to use a phase -shifting method in shadow moire because it is impossible to obtain uniform phase shifts on the whole field. But in this study , We introduce a phase-shifting method to improve the resolution of the classical shadow moire method. This method is based on the fact that if the depth of object is much less than the distance between the observer and the master grating, the phase shifts are almost uniform on the whole field area. Finally, we applied this new phase-shifting method to the measurement of the 3-D shape of a coin.

This paper presents appliation of optical moire topography to mesuring force profiles of dies and clay models for practical use in the field of production engineering. Moire topography has been studied intensively during last few decades in the area of optical physics and its mathmatical theory has now been established. In this study, two optical configurations are suggested in which resultant moire fringes can be readily analyzed, so that 3D proviles of the models are constructed through a series of image processing by suing ma chine vision techniques. Experimental results demonstreated by using a micro- computer and CCD camera show 0.05mm measuring spatial resulution, so that the optical method can effectively adopted in order to overcome many difficulties arising when using the existing contact-type digitizing methods.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a body alignment correction program on asymmetrically developed squash players. Method : 30 experienced squash players who showed asymmetric body development, after evaluation of moire topography contour line shape, were involved in the experiment. All of them were right-handed and had more than five years of experience playing squash. Variables of body composition, moire topography and EMG were statistically compared between pre- and post- application of the 12-week body alignment correction program. The program consisted of 10-minute, left-handed forehand and backhand drive movements and 36 minutes performing 12 different yoga postures. Results : First, the body alignment correction program showed significant effects on the total weight, body fat percentage, and body mass index of the participants. Second, a decrease of right side inclined angles and an increase of left side inclined angles might result in a higher left-right symmetry rate and a better left-right balance; however the data was not statistically significant. Third, the EMG left-right deviation of erector spinae and latissimus decreased and the erector spinae muscle was thought to be more essential for vertebral movement and left-right asymmetry correction. Conclusion : A body alignment correction program, including yoga and opposite side exercises, could reduce left-right asymmetry.

A technique is presented for evaluating spinal deformity of a human back by extracting a spinal line based on 3-D topograpic reconstruction of the back from its moire image. A given moire image is differentiatedby DOG filter to extract moire stripes. The stripes are then assigned labels and the labels are interpolated by the Lagrange polynomial to yield the undulation of the back which gives a relative 3-D shape of the back. A valley is searched on the undulation near the middle part of the back and the valley line is finally extracted as an approximated spinal line. The mean differenceand the variance between the spinal line and the middle line are calculated and reported. Experiment is performed employing real moire images ofjunior-high school students' backs and some of the results are shown with discussion.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the back shape and self-conscious symptoms of the students in S High school using the phase-shifting scanning grating projection Moire interferometer and Questionnaire investigations. Methods : In this study the subjects consisted of 317 pupils[168 boys(53%), 149girls(47%)] attending S high school in Sungnamsi, Kyoungkido in 2002. Their ages ranged from sixteen to eighteen. With the phase-shifting scanning grating projection moire interferometer, the posterior views of the body were taken to see if there are correlation of remainder value of the height spot of left & right shoulder blade and gluteal region in Moire topography. And using questionnaire investigation, we investigated the self-conscious symptoms. Results : 1. In questionnaire investigation, we observed that the ratios of self-conscious symptoms of girls are more than that of boys. The ratios of headache, neck pain, lower back pain, digestive symptom were more than 70% in boys and girls. 2. In Moire topography, more frequent findings of scapular region were observed that left scapular area were higher than right(in boys 69.3%, 60%, 100%, aged 16,17,18, in girls 66.8%, 40.5%, 58.8% aged 16,17,18). 3. More frequent findings of gluteal region were observed that left scapular area were higher than right(in boys 75.2%, 60%, 36.4% aged 16,17,18, in girls 61.1%, 46.8%, 64.7% aged 16,17,18) 4. More frequent findings of reminder value of the vertical lines of cervical and buttock region in Moire topography were observed that the vertical lines of cervical region were inclined to left than the vertical lines of buttock(in boys 73.3%, 92.2%, 100% aged 16,17,18, in girls 72.2%, 77.2%, 73.5% aged 16,17,18) Conclusion : From these results, we found that the self-conscious symptoms were more than in girls than boys; the ratio of headache, neck pain, Lower back pain, digestive symptom was more than the others; the back shape of high school students were not balanced in scapular and buttock region; necks were inclined to left than buttock.

This paper proposed the basic consideration for the reliable 3-D measurement and analysis of middle-aged women's breast using 3-D phase-shifting moire topography. The surface borderline of the breast based on the anatomical structure on the skin was suggested. Various breast dimensions that can be measured using 3-D measurement system and their measuring methods were discussed. Tips for the measurement of sagged breast were also proposed. It is expected that these basic considerations contribute to draw attention to the reliable measurement of women's breast and provide a kind of tools for the standardization of 3-D shape measurement of breast.

This study was to investigate the relationship of headache and back shape using the Moire interferometer and Questionnaire investigations. In this study the subjects consisted of 317 pupils[168 boys(53%), 149girls(47%)] attending S high school in Sungnamsi, Kyoungkido in 2002, and their ages ranged from sixteen to eighteen. The results are following. 1. In questionnaire investigation, we observed that the ratio of headache was more than 70% and the ratio of girls are more than that of boys. The inclination for ages was not shown. 2. In moire topography, the remainder values of scapular region were from 0.5 cm to 1.1 cm in boys, and from 0.45 cm to 1 cm in girls. The remainder values of gluteal region were from 0.2 cm to 0.8 cm in boys, and from 0.4 cm to 0.6 cm in girls. The reminder values of the vertical lines of cervical and buttock region were from 0.71 cm to 1.51 cm in boys, and from 0.96 cm to 1.43 cm in girls. More frequent findings of reminder value of the vertical lines of cervical and buttock region were observed that the vertical lines of cervical region were inclined to left than the vertical lines of buttock 3. Through the Pearson's Correlation analysis of headache and Moire topography, we found the close relationship of headache and the remainder values of scapular region(Pearson correlation coefficient : 0.116, P<0.05) and gluteal region(Pearson correlation coefficient : 0.153, P<0.01). But the relevances to headache and the remainder values of neck lines, sacral lines and neck-sacral lines were not found.

Moire principles are applied to the measurement of the spindle radial error motion. As opposed to conventional techniques, no master cylinder or ball is needed in the measurement so that the offset and out-of-roundness errors of the master can be inherently eliminated. Two periodic circular gratings are used, one is made on the spindle and the other is held stationary on the reference frame. When the two gratings are seen superimposed during spindle rotation, an interference fringe pattern is observed from which the information on the eccentricity between the two gratings can be extracted with high precision. The optical design and fringe analysis techniques of a prototype measurement system are described in detail with exemplary measurement results.
