Zeiler (1953) used a Wild stereocamera (40 cm base) to obtain
three-dimensional cyclograms of manual movements in different work
situations. Small incandescent lamps were attached. to the subject's
hands, head and shoulders and visibility of the light traces was enhanced
by conducting the experiments in a "feebly darkened room." More
recently, stereophotogrammetric studies of body motion in such areas as
gait analysis, sports and industrial activities have been conducted by
Nakamura and Tamura (1966), Preston (1967), Moffitt (1967),
McDonald (1968), Ayoub (1969), Ayoub and Ayoub (1970), Ayoub,
Ayoub and Ramsey (1970), Bullock (1969), Bullock and Lanchester
(1969), Fredricson, Andersson, Dandanell, Moen and Andersson (1970)
and Smidt (1970), but the most sustained work in the stereometric
analysis of human body kinematics has been carried out by Gutewort
(1968a, 1968b, 1969 and 1971) and by Gutewort and co-workers
(Gutewort and Tôpfer 1968). Ingels and co-workers (Ingels, Rush and
Thompson 1967 and 1969; Ingels 1971; Daughters and Ingels 1971; and
Ingels et al 1971) have successfully used stereophotogrammetry to study
the dynamic geometry of canine hearts and Kunov (1971) has
photogrammetrically analyzed the contractional patterns of the urinary
bladder (in vitro) in dogs. Aldman (1962) studied automobile impact
protection using a stereophotogrammetric system described by Aldman
and Sigmark (1960).
Studies of growth changes by means of stereophotogrammetry have
been confined largely to the area of dentistry which is dealt with
elsewhere in the review. Exceptions include a study by Hou, Veress and
Prothero (1970) who followed mouse growth during the first month
of life by compiling six contour maps and computing surface area and
volume changes and Kratky's (1971) interesting two-media
photogrammetric study of growth in living jelly fish colonies.
Four-dimensional stereometric analysis has also been used by Herron,
Peterson and Healey (1970) to determine the volume changes of
lymphedematous arms in post-mastectomy cancer patients; by
Hjelmstróm (1953) to measure volume variations of the liver in animals;
by Hagberg, Hjelmstróm and Adams-Ray (1954) to record the effects of
anesthesia on respiratory movements and by Liebelt and Herron (1971)
and Liebelt, Mulkey, Herron, Cuzzi and Kaufman (1971) to study breast
volume changes during the menstrual cycle. In an entirely different
area-—the study of biologically-induced erosion of intertidal zones, J.
W. Evans (1971), a marine-biologist at Memorial University of
Newfoundiand,has been using stereophotogrammetry to monitor yearly
o
changes in the microtopography of beach rock.
5. OTHER FORMS OF STEREOMETRIC IMAGERY
5.1 X-Rays
Mackenzie-Davidson first suggested the use of stereoscopy for
x-rays in 1898 (Judge 1950) and the medical potential of x-ray
