You need to have a bunch of points along the line for whichever face you want to use. &nbsp;Then take a bunch of small measurements, and add them up.

A geodesic from forehead to chin might curve around the nose.<br />
I'm not sure what meaning the length of such a geodesic might have.

A resonable approximation would be to add the length of the straight line from the forehead to the nose to the lenght of the straight line from the nose to the chin.

I would like to conduct 3D curve distance measurement along the surface of human face. For example, I wish to measure the distance between forehead and chin along the human face. The application will be like this, I plot three points respectively at forehead, nose and chin, I would like to know the approximate distance between these points along the human face. <br />
<br />
From what I know, besides &quot;geodesic distance&quot;, is there any other algorithm that can describe the curve distance along the surface? Hope to get some idea/ suggestions for this. Thank you..

How to measure curve distance along irregular 3D surface (i.e: human face)?

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

The Math / Science topic primarily includes discussions of mathematics, physics, statistics and economic analysis, but also biology, chemistry and other sciences.
