Quantitative Analysis of the Skin’s Surface by Digital Signal Processing

  • Chapter

Abstract

The human skin’s three dimensional surface is subjected to continuous structural changes. These result from the influences of the seasons, climate, diurnal rhythms, pathological conditions, age, psychic reactions, and cosmetics [1–6].

If you look at the nose of your darling sweetheart Magnified through a glass It’ll give you a start For you’ll find her complexion Neither smooth nor clear But pocked and pimpled Like a wart hog’s ear.
