<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for easily estimating anatomical feature points such as the orbitale or the like while alleviating burden imposed upon a person to be measured. <P>SOLUTION: Coordinates of the internal canthus point ENT, the outer canthus point ECT, the palpebra point PLP that corresponds to a concave part between the choroidal fissure on the internal canthus ENT side and the eyebrow, and the tragion are obtained respectively from the skin surface of the head of a person (a person to be measured). The position of the orbitale ORB is estimated by calculating the coordinate of the lowest point of a virtual sphere SPH that passes the obtained internal canthus point ENT, the outer canthus point ECT, and the palpebra point PLP. The Frankfurt plane is then calculated on the basis of at least three coordinates including the orbitale ORB of the first or second choroidal fissures and the first or second tragion. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
