First investigations about contactless surface analysis of the skin were initialized in the year 1995. After a successful validation phase, the first publication of the new FOITS technology (Fast Optical In Vivo Topometry of Human Skin) can be found in 1997 [1]. In comparison to the replica-driven technique during the last decade, the touch-free technique of fringe projection became state of the art to investigate skin surface [2–5]. Due to many technical advancements (as, e.g., improved camera resolution, the use of blue LED lighting systems, or laser-supported and computer-optimized overlaying procedures), an easy-to-operate system could be realized during the last years. As scientific interest on the mechanisms of wrinkle evaluation has always been pushed, the technical developments led to a tool of high scientific standard [6–9]. From the beginnings in the year 1995, FOITS became worldwide established. Today it is used in various countries (Germany, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, the USA, China, Japan, and South Korea). Consequently, in 2012, the new generation FOITS-2 is now available to realize a one-shot one-face technique with an excellent resolution and time regime. |
