Abstract		The paper presents a method for the estimation of the spinal curves in scoliotic patients. For the determination of the human back shape Fourier Transform profilometry is used. With this method the phase of a projected fringe pattern is extracted from which the surface shape reconstruction is possible. The scoliotic curve is estimated from the human back shape with the use of a frequency sine curve, which is modelated in frequency. This approach gives a smooth and realistic curve, which is a mathematical function based on 4 shape parameters. Measurements on a scoliotic patient are presented.
