Measuring device for measuring the changes in shape of a human skull of a baby or small child comprises memory units for storing pixel data of the face and the skull of a human using a digital camera, and calculating units

摘要

Measuring device (1) comprises a first memory unit for storing pixel data of the face (8) of a human measured using a digital camera (2), a calculating unit for calculating characteristic angle relations and length proportions of the face, a second memory unit for storing pixel data of the top of the skull (9) of the human, a calculating unit for calculating a symmetrical axis of the stored data of the top of the head, a third memory unit for storing the symmetrical deviations of the top of the head and the characteristic angle relation and the length proportions of the face. An independent claim is also included for a measuring method for documenting the changes in shape of a human skull. Preferred Features: The first and second memory units are DRAMs. The third memory unit is a floppy disk, compact disk or flask memory.
