Quantification of Cellulite Using 3D Scanning
©2008 Total Contact - All Rights Reserved
A quantitative model of cellulite was developed from a combination of three-dimensional morphological features and quantitative biophysical characteristics of thigh skin. We have determined a range of roughness parameters that significantly characterize cellulite-affected skin of the thigh.
Cellulite severity assessments reported by experts, subjects, and naïve judges were well correlated, suggesting that average consumers will be able to determine differences when presented images from the range of cellulite severity. The correlation of naïve, subject and expert evaluations to quantitative roughness data confirms that the data quantitatively assesses human perception. The ability to quantitatively chart reduction in cellulite severity by the evaluation of the roughness parameters St and Sq provides the methodology to develop more refined product claim substantiation.
We have established an objective classification system, encompassing ten cellulite levels. Co-registration of the data has provided a quantitative illustration of cellulite that will be key in the development of technologies targeted toward ameliorating the condition. This multifaceted study has enabled us to launch the mission that may unlock the mystery to the perceptual reality of cellulite.
