Abstract

A method for analyzing physical features of an individual comprises directing an acoustic signal toward a mouth of the individual, receiving a reflected acoustic signal from the interior of the mouth of the individual, generating a structural profile of at least the interior of the mouth of the individual based at least in part on the reflected acoustic signal, and causing an action to be performed in response to generating the structural profile. The acoustic signal is configured to reflect off at least a portion of the interior of the mouth of the individual. The reflected acoustic signal is indicative of structural characteristics of the mouth of the individual. The structural profile can also be based on image data associated with the exterior of the head and neck of the individual, and image data associated with the interior of the mouth of the individual.
