In vivo panoramic human skin shape and deformation measurement using mirror-assisted multi-view digital image correlation

Copyright © 2020. Published by Elsevier Ltd..

Panoramic shape and deformation measurements of human skin in vivo may provide important information for biomechanical analysis, exercise guidance and medical diagnosis. This work proposes the application of an advanced mirror-assisted multi-view digital image correlation (DIC) method for dynamic measurements of 360-deg shape and deformation of human body parts in vivo. The main advantage of this method consists in its capabilities to perform full-panoramic non-contact measurements with a single pair of synchronized cameras and two planar mirrors thus representing a lean yet effective alternative to conventional multi-camera DIC systems in 'surrounding' configuration. We demonstrate the capabilities of this method by measuring the full-panoramic shape of a plastic human head, the deformation of a woman face and the principal strain distribution over the full-360-deg surface of a forearm during fist clenching. The applications of this method can be the most disparate but, given the possibility to determine the full-field strains and derived information (e.g. skin tension lines), we envisage a great potential for the study of skin biomechanics in vivo.
