Dear netters,
Great thanks to people who answered us about surfacique model of the head.
We are working on a system designed for "locked in" syndrom peoples. Those peoples
can only move their eyes. With E.O.G we are able to record their eye movements and
then to allow them to make move a mouse on a computer screen. They can select icons or
letters and then are able to comunicate or to drive their bed, tv...
Our problem is to design a sort of pair of glasses to applicate electrodes on the skin
arround the eye. That's why we need data for head anthropomethry.
My original message and the responses I got follow.

Dear suscribers,
In order to design a sort of pair of glasses to record eyes movements of "locked
in syndrom" people we need a surfacic model of head and specially of face, for a
standard man and for a standard woman. We are looking for data permitting to
build this model or for existing model readable with the software CATIA. We
would be grateful to those of you who would provide us with such a model or who
would give us sugestions about where to find such data.
Few peoples asked me to give more details about what is a surfacic model of
head. What we are looking for are anthropometric data of face permitting to
build a CAD model. We need a data base of points describing the surface of head
of a man, woman and children. If it's possible we would prefer to get existing
model readable with standard CAD software such CATIA,EUCLID,AUTOCAD....
We would be very grateful to anybody able to indicate us where to find those
data or models.
Thank you very much,
Stephane BOUILLAND

Dear Stephane Bouilland,
I think I have what you are looking for. I am working with a 3-D head
scanner providing a data base of head models which I am using for
psychophysical face recognition experiments and for modeling
purposes. You find a very brief description in WWW calling
http://mpik-tueb.mpg.de:4711 and then my personal page.
I would like to know what you are working on.

They propose surfacic mesh of a lot of things and also of the head, I suppose it works with Autocad, and the price is correct.

Subj: Anthropometric profiles of the face
Dear Stephane,
A few years ago, I was involved in the development of a protective helmet
for children with seizure disorders. A 1981 reference I found useful was
"Anthropometry of the head and face in medicine" by L.G.Farkas (a
Canadian doctor working at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto,
Canada). It provide detailed scalar facial measurements of children. We
also found the ISO standard (1983) "Headforms for use in the testing of
protective helmets - ISO 620.1" to give use useful data regarding
profiles of the cranial area for different head circumferences.
Perhaps this information will get you started? At the time, our CAD
modelling capability was limited.
I hope this helps you out.
Regards.

You should talk to a craneofacial surgeon. There is supposed to be a big book
with "normal" data on faces and heads with all sorts of measurements.
If you are desperate, you should do a SCI search on Court Cutting from NYU.
I saw a talk by him last year where he mentioned this data. I believe he
is a Craneofacial surgeon.
