An ultrafast holography system captures the shape of live subjects.

31 07 2007

Facial surgery and forensic science are benefiting from a portable holography system called digital holography facial topometry that can capture the shape and texture of faces in an instant. The invention was� developed by a team of � scientists at the Center for Advanced European Studies and Research (Caesar) in Bonn, Germany.
In this technique, 3D models of the skin surface of patients are created by ultra-fast holography and automatic scan matching of synchronously recorded holograms.
