DESCRIPTION:Adrian Bowman\, University of Glasgow\nThree-dimensional surfa
 ce imaging\, through laser-scanning or stereo-photogrammetry\, provides hi
 gh-resolution data defining the surface shape of objects.  Human faces ar
 e of particular interest and there are many biological and anatomical appl
 ications\, including assessing the success of facial surgery and investiga
 ting the possible developmental origins of some adult conditions.\n\nAn in
 itial challenge is to structure the raw images by identifying features of 
 the face.  Ridge and valley curves provide a very good intermediate level
  at which to approach this\, as these provide a good compromise between in
 formative representations of shape and simplicity of structure.  Some of 
 the issues involved in analysing data of this type will be discussed and i
 llustrated\, including longitudinal shape change at short scale in facial 
 animation\, medium scale in human growth patterns\, and very long scale in
  phylogenetic studies.\n\n
