A stereophotogrammetric method was used for a quantitative determination of volume variations in a section of the face. This method involved volume measuring by the aid of stereophotographs in accordance with principles that are well known in aerial cartography. After the appropriate contouring, the volume was read off on a planimeter fastened to a stereoinstrument. The persons to be examined were fixed by means of a bite-impression, which made it possible to place them in the same position in relation to the camera at successive experiments. The standard deviation of a volume measurement was estimated to 1.7 cubic centimeters.
