Abstract
The introduction of three-dimensional surface scanning by active image triangulation allows for fast, non-invasive in vivo measurements of the skin’s surface. This offers significant advantages against classical methods, typically using silicone replica for off-line evaluation. The quantitative determination of skin surface topology, roughness as well as macrostructures like wrinkles or cellulite, is among the most important and probably most-frequently performed investigations in the field of cosmetics, and increasingly in dermatological research as well. A key technology in these applications is phase-measuring fringe projection, as it combines precision with the fast acquisition necessary for in vivo measurement. A wide range of new possibilities results from this, for example, in the field of cosmetic and dermatological research. In the following, we describe the technology, application aspects, results from dermatological research, and latest developments involving portable as well as large-scale scanning devices.
