<p>Dear all</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I hope you don't mind me forwarding this query from a friend of mine who is a <span>
Sleep Clinical Physiologist. If anyone can answers her query that would be great.</span></p>

<i>Do you know if there is a standard system which can be used to measure an individual’s facial profile, either manually or using software? Our medical photography team take photos annually of patients using non-invasive ventilation, who may experience facial
changes related to mask use, and we want to find a way to quantify any changes over time. There are patients where we can subjectively see a change, but we’re looking to find a way to assess this objectively.</i></p>

<i>Looking in the literature, we can’t find anything for measuring points on the face - there are lots of papers measuring skull landmarks on cephalometric x-rays, but we’re looking for something we can do from photos to avoid irradiating patients if we can!</i></p>

<i>It sounds like the sort of thing that must already exist, but we can’t seem to find it. I wondered if there might be anything that you use in the facial recognition field that we might be able to apply?</i></p>
