A hologram contains the entire three-dimensional information of the recorded object and yields therefore the possibility for high-resolving, three-dimensional topometry. With a single pulse of a frequency doubled Nd:YLF laser a hologram of a face is recorded. Due to the extremely short pulse duration of 35 ns no movement artifacts occur. In a second step a cw-laser is used to reconstruct the hologram optically with the complex conjugate reference beam. The so emerging real image is digitized into a set of two-dimensional projections, each containing a focused contour of the face as well as an unfocused background. A focus measure operator extracts the surface information, where the characteristics of the off-axis region are taken into account through an iterative algorithm. Various numerical procedures lead to three-dimensional computer models with an intrinsic gray scale texture which are already used to plan and document surgical interventions in maxillofacial surgery.
