Abstract
INTRODUCTION A short columella, wide nostrils and a flat nasal tip are common features in patients with bilateral complete cleft lip and palate (BCLP). The objective of this study was to evaluate nasal morphology during growth in patients treated with naso-alveolar moulding (NAM) and primary surgical columella lengthening (PCL) compared with matched non-cleft individuals. STUDY DESIGN Prospective longitudinal case-control study. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS Thirty-four consecutively treated BCLP patients at 5 and 10 years and at the end of growth (19.7 ± 2.0 years) were compared through normalized photogrammetry to a control of 34 age and sex-matched non-cleft individuals. Regression Models for Panel Data assessed how nasal measurements were influenced by surgery, age and gender. RESULTS Nasal protrusion was equal to non-cleft controls at all ages. Length of the columella was also comparable to controls at 5 and 10 years, but significantly shorter at the end of growth. Inter-alar and nasal tip width and nasolabial angle were significantly wider than controls at all ages: More than 60% of the patients have asked for correction of the nasal width, but no early surgery for columella lengthening was needed. CONCLUSIONS NAM and PCL have provided a nasal projection close to that of non-cleft individuals until adulthood, while length of the columella was physiological at 5 and 10, but shorter than controls at age 20. Width of the nasal tip and width of the alar bases were significantly wider than the controls and eventually required secondary nasal width correction in over two thirds of the sample.

Abstract
Parallel laser photogrammetry (PLP), which consists of attaching two or three parallel laser beams at a known inter-beam distance to a camera, can be used to collect morphological measurements of organisms noninvasively. The lasers project onto the photo being taken, and because the inter-beam distance is known, they act as a scale for image analysis programs like ImageJ. Traditionally, this method has been used to measure larger morphological traits (e.g., limb length, crown-rump length) to serve as proxies for overall body size, whereas applications to smaller anatomical features remain limited. To that end, we used PLP to measure the testes of 18 free-living mantled howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata) at La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica. We tested whether this method could reliably measure this relatively small and globular morphology, and whether it could detect differences among individuals. We tested reliability in three ways: within-photo (coefficient of variation [CV] = 4.7%), between-photo (CV = 5.5%), and interobserver (intraclass correlation = 0.92). We found an average volume of 36.2 cm3 and a range of 16.4-54.4 cm3, indicating variation in testes size between individuals. Furthermore, these sizes are consistent with a previous study that collected measurements by hand, suggesting that PLP is a useful method for making noninvasive measurements of testes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the trueness and precision of complete arch implant impressions using conventional impression, intraoral scanning with and without splinting, and stereophotogrammetry. MATERIALS AND METHODS An edentulous model with six implants was used in this study. Four implant impression techniques were compared: the conventional impression (CI), intraoral scanning (IOS) without splinting, intraoral scanning with splinting (MIOS), and stereophotogrammetry (SPG). An industrial blue light scanner was used to generate the baseline scan from the model. The CI was captured with a laboratory scanner. The reference best-fit method was then applied in the computer-aided design (CAD) software to compute the three-dimensional, angular, and linear discrepancies among the four impression techniques. The root mean square (RMS) 3D discrepancies in trueness and precision between the four impression groups were analyzed with a Kruskal-Wallis test. Trueness and precision between single analogs were assessed using generalized estimating equations. RESULTS Significant differences in the overall trueness (p = .017) and precision (p < .001) were observed across four impression groups. The SPG group exhibited significantly smaller RMS 3D deviations than the CI, IOS, and MIOS groups (p < .05), with no significant difference detected among the latter three groups (p > .05). CONCLUSIONS Stereophotogrammetry showed superior trueness and precision, meeting misfit thresholds for implant-supported complete arch prostheses. Intraoral scanning, while accurate like conventional impressions, exhibited cross-arch angular and linear deviations. Adding a splint to the scan body did not improve intraoral scanning accuracy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Keeping the head in a neutral position is requisite for glasses/lenses/head-up designs, the suitability of oculo-plastic surgery and for the grading the eye shift. Anatomically incompatible glasses are one of the common problems affecting accommodation, reducing comfort and disturbing by causing symptoms such as dizziness and nausea. The oculo-palpebral measurements act as a key determinant in symmetrical facial attractiveness. This study aims to investigate the most effective oculo-palpebral landmarks, head-neutral as the ideal position, taking into account of individual anatomical differences of these patients. METHODS 100 females and 100 males aged between 18 and 20 years were photographed. Digital photogrammetric measurements were made with the ImageJ program. Interpupillary and interhelical distances, besides bilateral palpebral fissure length and height, and iris diameter were calculated on front-facing photographs. RESULTS Mean interpupillary distance was measured wider in males than in females. The mean length of palpebral fissure was 31 mm; palpebral fissure height was 10 mm. These figures were valid in both eyes and gender. The interhelical distance was calculated as the mean and was measured longer in men. Since the measurement values were the same in both sexes and on both sides, they were determined as important landmarks for controlling the head-neutral position, evaluating whether there was a deviation in the eye, and measuring the numerical value when detected. CONCLUSION It is essential to check the side-symmetry of the patient's palpebral fissure height, palpebral fissure length, diameter of iris and corneal depth during oculo-plastic invention and artificial design.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main aim of this study was to present an automatic method based on image processing algorithms for facial anatomical landmark localization and angular photogrammetric analysis applicable for rhinoplasty surgery. We studied and measured color profile photographs of 100 patients before and after rhinoplasty surgery. METHODS In facial anthropometry analysis, anatomical landmarks are often defined by specialists, manually. This process is time-consuming and requires training and skill. The Cascade Regression Method (CRM) was utilized for facial landmark detection to overcome the mentioned problem. In this study, 11 anatomical landmarks were used to measure 9 facial angular metrics. Finally, a t-test (with the significance level set at a p-value of 0.05) was applied to analyze before surgery versus after surgery comparisons. RESULTS Experimental results dedicated that there is a significance difference (p < 0.001) in nasofrontal, nasolabial, mentolabial, nasomental, facial convexity including nose, facial convexity excluding nose, projection of the upper lip to chin, and H angles before and after surgery. Also, results showed that there is not a significance difference in nose tip angle. CONCLUSION We believe that the presented system can aim to reduce the personal errors made by manual measurement and to facilitate facial anthropometry analysis before and after surgery with high accuracy. Also, the normative data for Iranian women can be used as a guide for the diagnosis and planning of oral and maxillofacial, ENT, and plastic surgeries.

Abstract
Endoscopy is the gold standard for characterizing pediatric airway disorders, however, it is limited for quantitative analysis due to lack of three-dimensional (3D) vision and poor stereotactic depth perception. We utilize structure from motion (SfM) photogrammetry, to reconstruct 3D surfaces of pathologic and healthy pediatric larynges from monocular two-dimensional (2D) endoscopy. Models of pediatric subglottic stenosis were 3D printed and airway endoscopies were simulated. 3D surfaces were successfully reconstructed from endoscopic videos of all models using an SfM analysis toolkit. Average subglottic surface error between SfM reconstructed surfaces and 3D printed models was 0.65 mm as measured by Modified Hausdorff Distance. Average volumetric similarity between SfM surfaces and printed models was 0.82 as measured by Jaccard Index. SfM can be used to accurately reconstruct 3D surface renderings of the larynx from 2D endoscopy video. This technique has immense potential for use in quantitative analysis of airway geometry and virtual surgical planning.

Abstract
In anatomical research and education, three-dimensional visualization of anatomical structures is crucial for understanding spatial relationships in diagnostics, surgical planning, and teaching. While computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offer valuable insights, they are often expensive and require specialized resources. This study explores photogrammetry as an affordable and accessible approach for 3D modeling in anatomical contexts. Two photogrammetry methods were compared: conventional open-source software (Colmap) and Apple's RealityKit Object Capture. Human C3 vertebrae were imaged with a 24 MP camera, with and without a cross-polarization filter. Reconstruction times, vertex distances, surface area, and volume measurements were compared to CT scans. Results revealed that the Object Capture method surpassed the conventional approach in reconstruction speed and user-friendliness. Both methods exhibited similar vertex distance from reference mesh and volume measurements, although the conventional approach produced larger surface areas compared to CT-based models. Cross-polarization filters eliminated the need for pre-processing and improved outcomes in challenging lighting conditions. This study demonstrates that photogrammetry, especially Object Capture, as a reliable and time-efficient tool for 3D modeling in anatomical research and education. It offers accessible alternatives to traditional techniques with advantages in texture mapping. While further validation of various anatomical structures is required, the accessibility and cost-effectiveness of photogrammetry make it a valuable asset for the field. In summary, photogrammetry would have the potential to revolutionize anatomical research and education by providing cost-effective, accessible, and accurate 3D modeling. The study underscores the promise of advancing anatomical research and education through the integration of photogrammetry with ongoing improvements in user-friendliness and accessibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Three-dimensional (3D) stereophotogrammetry has been widely used in anthropometry for both medical and esthetic purposes. However, no studies have assessed its reliability on measuring the lower eyelid by 3D imaging. This study aimed to establish a standardized 3D anthropometric protocol for lower eyelid region and validate its reliability. METHODS Fifty-eight participants (116 eyes) were recruited with mean age of 39.14 ± 11.25 years. Two sets of VECTRA 3D images were taken for each subject, and each set of images was individually measured twice by two raters. Twenty-seven landmarks were identified in the lower eyelid region, and then 19 linear, 4 curvilinear, 7 angular and 2 areal metrics were assessed for intrarater, interrater and intramethod reliability. RESULTS High reliability was found in this 3D imaging-based lower eyelid anthropometry. The mean absolute difference within 2 intrarater measurement were 0.22 and 0.08 units, the technical errors measurement were 0.31 and 0.15 units, the relative errors of measurement were 0.90% and 0.31%, the relative technical errors of measurement were 1.53% and 0.64%, and the intra-group correlation coefficient was 0.99 and 0.99. The results for interrater measurement were 0.53 units, 0.59 units, 2.94%, 3.41% and 0.96, and for intramethod measurement were 0.71 units, 0.77 units, 4.12%, 4.05% and 0.95 units, respectively. CONCLUSION 3D stereophotogrammetry is reliable for lower eyelid anthropometry. The standardized protocol can be further applied for many purposes such as lower eyelid aging evaluation, surgical related assessment and periocular rejuvenation plan.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to describe gender-specific three-dimensional morphology of the soft-tissue nose in Lebanese young adults and to explore the associations between nasal morphology with age and body mass index (BMI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Three-dimensional photographs were captured for 176 young healthy Lebanese adults (75 males and 101 females) aged 18.1-37.68 years. Linear and angular nasal measurements were computed and compared between genders, in addition to other established norms. Associations with age and BMI were also assessed. RESULTS All linear measurements were greater in males than in females, and only the nasolabial angle was significantly larger in females by 2.97 degrees on average. Most of the measurements were found to be larger than the Caucasian norms. A few significant correlations were found between the measurements and age or BMI. CONCLUSION This study is the first to present the sex-specific norms for nasal morphology in the Lebanese population and highlights the presence of gender dimorphism in the majority of measurements. Additional studies are needed to validate our data and expand the associations with age and BMI. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The data offered in this study could help enhance the accuracy of facial reconstructive surgery and aid in personalized treatment planning for both medical and cosmetic nasal interventions.

MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with class III malocclusion undergoing Lefort I advancement with and without impaction and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy with the standard technique were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups: maxillary Lefort I advancement alone (group 1) and combined with impaction (group 2). Facial soft tissue landmarks of the nose including nasal height (NH), nasal length (NL), nasal tip projection (NTP), alar width (AW), alar base width (ABW), subalar width (Sbal), nasolabial angle (NLA), nasofrontal angle (NFA), and columella inclination (CI) before and at least 4 months after surgery were obtained by a 3D scanner. RESULTS Twenty-one patients were included in this study (Group 1: 11 and Group 2: 10). NH, NTP, and NL decreased significantly in both groups following surgery. In addition, Sbal decreased only in group 2. On the other hand, NLA and CI increased significantly in group 2. The inter-group comparison revealed a statistically significant difference in the alterations in NH, NL, and CI between the two groups. CONCLUSION Changes in the nose soft tissue occurred after both surgeries, but their type and extent were different. Actions taken to reduce unwanted changes need to be further investigated. To evaluate the changes, 3D photogrammetry scan is a feasible imaging technique that can be used, providing numerous benefits.

Abstract
Facial deformities can be caused by cancer, tumours, trauma, infections, congenital or acquired defects and may lead to alteration in basic functions such as communication, breathing, and mastication and aesthetic thereby affecting quality of life. Traditional processes for manufacturing maxillofacial prostheses involve complicated, time-consuming and tedious processes for the patient and the operator. Impression of the defect area, which is the one of the crucial step in fabrication of prosthesis, is the longest and most difficult process as it requires a long contact with the patient. The digital revolution is now changing the landscape of prosthetic production and making the impression making procedure simpler. Digital technology reduces patient chair side time by providing more accurate display data in less time (3-5 min) than traditional methods. Digital impressions eliminate the need for bulky impression materials and provide a more comfortable patient experience.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The non-invasive three-dimensional (3D) stereophotogrammetry is widely used in anthropometry for medical purpose. Yet, few studies have assessed its reliability on measuring the perioral region. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to provide a standardized 3D anthropometric protocol for the perioral region. METHODS 38 female and 12 male Asians were recruited (mean age 31.6 ± 9.6 years). Two sets of 3D images using the VECTRA 3D imaging system were acquired for each subject, and two measurement sessions for each image were performed independently by two raters. 25 landmarks were identified, and 28 linear, 2 curvilinear, 9 angular and 4 areal measurements were evaluated for intrarater, interrater, and intramethod reliability. RESULTS Our results showed high reliability of 3D imaging-based perioral anthropometry by mean absolute difference (0.57 and 0.57 unit), technical error measurement (0.51 and 0.55 unit), relative error of measurement (2.18% and 2.44%), relative technical error of measurement (2.02% and 2.34%), and intraclass correlation coefficient (0.98 and 0.98) for intrarater 1 and intrarater 2 reliability; respectively 0.78 unit, 0.74 unit, 3.26%, 3.06% and 0.97 for interrater reliability; and respectively 1.01 unit, 0.97 unit, 4.74%, 4.57% and 0.95 for intramethod reliability. CONCLUSIONS This standardized protocol utilizing 3D surface imaging technologies are feasible and highly reliable in perioral assessment. It could be further applied for diagnostic purpose, surgical planning and therapeutic effect evaluation in clinical practice in relation to perioral morphologies.

Abstract
Facial palsy can severely compromise quality of life, significantly altering the harmony and symmetry of the face, which can be restored by surgical rehabilitation. The aim of the study was the quantification of facial symmetry following facial reanimation. Fifteen consecutive adult patients were surgically treated through triple innervation for reanimation of flaccid unilateral facial paralysis (contralateral facial nerve, masseteric nerve, and hypoglossal nerve) and fascia lata graft for definition of the nasolabial sulcus. In the preoperative stage and at least 11 months after the surgical treatment, three-dimensional facial images were recorded through stereophotogrammetry in a neutral (rest) position, and with Mona Lisa and full-denture (maximum) smiles. Labial commissure inclination relative to the interpupillary axis, and a surface assessment of local facial asymmetry at rest and while smiling were obtained for the upper, middle, and lower facial thirds. The angle between the interpupillary axis and the labial commissure significantly improved in post-surgical acquisitions, regaining symmetry at rest (t-test; p < 0.001). Facial symmetry increased significantly when passing from pre-to postsurgical facial scans, from the lower to the upper facial third, and from the full smile to the rest position (ANOVA; p < 0.001). After treatment, the full smile recovered more symmetry than the other two expressions. In summary, surgical treatment significantly reduced facial asymmetry, but this reduction differed significantly among the various animations and facial thirds. The results of this study confirmed clinical findings of significant static and dynamic improvements in facial symmetry after triple innervation reanimation surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess soft tissue differences between monozygotic twins (MZ) for the total face and between facial regions using three-dimensional (3D) stereophotogrammetry and quantitative surface-based 3D deviation analyses. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study sample consisted of 14 untreated MZ twins (6 males, 8 females, mean age: 14.75 years) from the archive of Marmara University, Department of Orthodontics. The images were taken by the 3dMDface system, and 3dMDvultus software was used for removal of undesired areas and approximation of the images. Then, stereolithography (.stl) format images were superimposed using the best-fit algorithm using 3-matic software. The face was divided into facial thirds, and upper lip and lower lip + chin regions were created. For the comparison, 3D deviation analyses were performed, and a color map and histogram were created. The data were presented as mean deviation, root mean square (RMS), median, and interquartile range. RESULTS Between the facial thirds, there was no significant difference in soft tissue differences for mean deviation. A statistically significant difference was found between the upper and lower face for the RMS value. For the comparison of upper lip and lower lip + chin region, the only significant difference was for the RMS. When the data were presented as median and interquartile range, there were no statistically significant differences between any facial regions. CONCLUSIONS Lower facial third and lower lip + chin regions had the greatest differences within MZ twin pairs. The genetic and environmental influences might not be the same for different parts of the face.

Abstract
Importance Objectively determining disease progression in craniofacial morphea (CM) is challenging, as clinical findings of disease activity are often lacking. Objective To evaluate the utility of 3-dimensional (3D) stereophotogrammetry in detecting disease progression in CM over time. Design, Setting, and Participants This prospective cohort study included 27 pediatric and adult patients with CM from 2 hospitals in Boston (Boston Children's Hospital and Brigham & Women's Hospital) consecutively enrolled from April 1, 2019, to March 1, 2023. Review of 3D stereophotogrammetry images and data analysis occurred from March 1 to April 1, 2023. Main Outcomes and Measures Clinical and 3D stereophotogrammetry assessments were performed at 2- to 12-month intervals, depending on the clinical context. The 3D stereophotogrammetry images were then qualitatively rated as demonstrating no progression or definitive progression by an expert (board-certified plastic craniofacial surgeon) and nonexpert (board-certified dermatologist) in 3D stereophotogrammetry. In addition, κ coefficients were calculated for interrater reliability. Results Of 27 patients with CM (19 female; median age, 14 [range, 5-40] years) and 3D stereophotogrammetry images obtained from a minimum of 2 time points (median, 4 [range, 2-10] images) spaced a median of 3 (range, 2-12) months apart, 10 experienced progression of their disease based on clinical assessments performed during the study period. In all cases in which clinical progression was favored, blinded qualitative assessment of 3D stereophotogrammetry images also favored progression with substantial interrater reliability (κ = 0.80 [95% CI, 0.61-0.99]). Furthermore, review of 3D stereophotogrammetry detected occult progression of asymmetry not noted on clinical examination in 3 additional patients. Conclusions and Relevance In this prospective cohort study, blinded assessment of sequential 3D stereophotogrammetry images in patients with CM not only corroborated clinical assessment of disease progression but also detected occult progression of facial asymmetry not appreciable on clinical examination alone. Therefore, 3D stereophotogrammetry may serve as a useful adjunct to clinical examination of patients with CM over time. Future investigations are warranted to validate 3D stereophotogrammetry as an outcome measure in CM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate social smile asymmetry in patients with unilateral impacted maxillary canine on 3D stereophotogrammetric images. MATERIAL AND METHODS The 3D social smile images of participants with unilateral impacted maxillary canine (n:20) and without impaction as a control group (n:20) were included. The images were recorded with a hand-held 3D stereophotogrammetry device (Fuel3D® Scanify®) and Geomagic Essentials 2 reverse engineering software were used for analyses. After the orientation process of the 3D records, the tissues around the smile area were divided into five morphological regions: cheek, upper lip lateral and medial, and lower lip lateral and medial. The deviation margins in the negative and positive directions for the 95% mesh rate and the total percentages of meshes between - 0.5- and + 0.5-mm deviations were calculated. ICC, paired samples t test, independent samples t test, and the Mann-Whitney U test were used for statistical analyses. RESULTS In individuals with impacted canine, the amount of maximum positive deviation in the upper lip medial was 5.64 mm ± 1.46 and maximum negative deviation was - 4.6 mm ± 1.17. In the control group, mean of deviation limits for all parameters was less than 1.19 mm ± 2.62, while in individuals with unilateral impacted maxillary canine, the maximum value was 8.34 mm ± 2.23. The mesh percentage between - 0.5 and 0.5-mm deviations was over 95% in all morphological areas in the control group, while in the impacted canine group, the number of meshes within the specified deviation limits was less than 95%. CONCLUSION Individuals with unilateral impacted maxillary canine exhibit greater asymmetry in social smile compared to the control group, with the asymmetry being most prominent near the corners of the mouth and cheeks. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Amount of asymmetry was higher in impaction group compared to the control group in social smile. The quantification of a possible smile asymmetry due to the impacted canine is crucial for the diagnosis and treatment planning of orthodontic and/or orthognathic cases for ideal aesthetic results. Hence, smile asymmetry should not be overlooked and should be considered in diagnosis and treatment planning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare three surgical interventions for correction of sagittal synostosis-frontobiparietal remodeling (FBR), extended strip craniotomy (ESC), and spring-assisted correction (SAC)-based on three-dimensional (3D) photogrammetry and operation characteristics. METHODS Patients who were born between 1991 and 2019 and diagnosed with nonsyndromic sagittal synostosis who underwent FBR, ESC, or SAC and had at least one postoperative 3D photogrammetry image taken during one of six follow-up appointments until age 6 were considered for this study. Operative characteristics, postoperative complications, reinterventions, and presence of intracranial hypertension were collected. To assess cranial growth, orthogonal cranial slices and 3D photocephalometric measurements were extracted automatically and evaluated from 3D photogrammetry images. RESULTS A total of 322 postoperative 3D images from 218 patients were included. After correcting for age and sex, no significant differences were observed in 3D photocephalometric measurements. Mean cranial shapes suggested that postoperative growth and shape gradually normalized with higher occipitofrontal head circumference and intracranial volume values compared with normal values, regardless of type of surgery. Flattening of the vertex seems to persist after surgical correction. The authors' cranial 3D mesh processing tool has been made publicly available as a part of this study. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that until age 6, there are no significant differences among the FBR, ESC, and SAC in their ability to correct sagittal synostosis with regard to 3D photocephalometric measurements. Therefore, efforts should be made to ensure early diagnosis so that minimally invasive surgery is a viable treatment option. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic, III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Accurate and repeatable detection of craniofacial landmarks is crucial for automated quantitative evaluation of head development anomalies. Since traditional imaging modalities are discouraged in pediatric patients, 3D photogrammetry has emerged as a popular and safe imaging alternative to evaluate craniofacial anomalies. However, traditional image analysis methods are not designed to operate on unstructured image data representations such as 3D photogrammetry. METHODS We present a fully automated pipeline to identify craniofacial landmarks in real time, and we use it to assess the head shape of patients with craniosynostosis using 3D photogrammetry. To detect craniofacial landmarks, we propose a novel geometric convolutional neural network based on Chebyshev polynomials to exploit the point connectivity information in 3D photogrammetry and quantify multi-resolution spatial features. We propose a landmark-specific trainable scheme that aggregates the multi-resolution geometric and texture features quantified at every vertex of a 3D photogram. Then, we embed a new probabilistic distance regressor module that leverages the integrated features at every point to predict landmark locations without assuming correspondences with specific vertices in the original 3D photogram. Finally, we use the detected landmarks to segment the calvaria from the 3D photograms of children with craniosynostosis, and we derive a new statistical index of head shape anomaly to quantify head shape improvements after surgical treatment. RESULTS We achieved an average error of 2.74 ± 2.70 mm identifying Bookstein Type I craniofacial landmarks, which is a significant improvement compared to other state-of-the-art methods. Our experiments also demonstrated a high robustness to spatial resolution variability in the 3D photograms. Finally, our head shape anomaly index quantified a significant reduction of head shape anomalies as a consequence of surgical treatment. CONCLUSION Our fully automated framework provides real-time craniofacial landmark detection from 3D photogrammetry with state-of-the-art accuracy. In addition, our new head shape anomaly index can quantify significant head phenotype changes and can be used to quantitatively evaluate surgical treatment in patients with craniosynostosis.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the reliability and agreement of automated head measurements using 3-dimensional (3D) photogrammetry in young children. Specifically, the study evaluated the agreement between manual and automated occipitofrontal circumference (OFC) measurements (n = 264) obtained from 3D images of 188 patients diagnosed with sagittal synostosis using a novel automated method proposed in this study. In addition, the study aimed to determine the interrater and intrarater reliability of the automatically extracted OFC, cephalic index, and volume. The results of the study showed that the automated OFC measurements had an excellent agreement with manual measurements, with a very strong regression score ( R2 = 0.969) and a small mean difference of -0.1 cm (-0.2%). The limits of agreement ranged from -0.93 to 0.74 cm, falling within the reported limits of agreement for manual OFC measurements. High interrater and intrarater reliability of OFC, cephalic index, and volume measurements were also demonstrated. The proposed method for automated OFC measurements was found to be a reliable alternative to manual measurements, which may be particularly beneficial in young children who undergo 3D imaging in craniofacial centers as part of their treatment protocol and in research settings that require a reproducible and transparent pipeline for anthropometric measurements. The method has been incorporated into CraniumPy, an open-source tool for 3D image visualization, registration, and optimization, which is publicly available on GitHub ( https://github.com/T-AbdelAlim/CraniumPy ).

Abstract
Hands-on dissections using cadaveric tissues for neuroanatomical education are not easily available in many educational institutions due to financial, safety, and ethical factors. Supplementary pedagogical tools, for instance, 3D models of anatomical specimens acquired with photogrammetry are an efficient alternative to democratize the 3D anatomical data. The aim of this study was to describe a technical guideline for acquiring realistic 3D anatomic models with photogrammetry and to improve the teaching and learning process in neuroanatomy. Seven specimens with different sizes, cadaveric tissues, and textures were used to demonstrate the step-by-step instructions for specimen preparation, photogrammetry setup, post-processing, and display of the 3D model. The photogrammetry scanning consists of three cameras arranged vertically facing the specimen to be scanned. In order to optimize the scanning process and the acquisition of optimal images, high-quality 3D models require complex and challenging adjustments in the positioning of the specimens within the scanner, as well as adjustments of the turntable, custom specimen holders, cameras, lighting, computer hardware, and its software. MeshLab® software was used for editing the 3D model before exporting it to MedReality® (Thyng, Chicago, IL) and SketchFab® (Epic, Cary, NC) platforms. Both allow manipulation of the models using various angles and magnifications and are easily accessed using mobile, immersive, and personal computer devices free of charge for viewers. Photogrammetry scans offer a 360° view of the 3D models ubiquitously accessible on any device independent of operating system and should be considered as a tool to optimize and democratize the teaching of neuroanatomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To present and execute a protocol for the capture of 3D facial images using photogrammetry through the open access software Blender and its add-on OrtogOnBlender (OOB) and to evaluate the compatibility of the 3D meshes generated with Computed tomography (CT) of the sinuses. METHODS Individuals >18 years old, candidates for Rhinoseptoplasty in a tertiary hospital, were submitted to a photographic session to perform the standardized protocol. In the session, divided into 3 phases, sequential photos were taken for processing the photogrammetry in the OOB and producing 3D meshes of the face. The photogrammetry reconstructions were compared with the reference mesh of the soft tissue surface of the Sinus CT scan to assess compatibility between them. RESULTS 21 patients were included, 67% female. 3 photogrammetry meshes and 1 CT reference mesh were generated, which demonstrated matching compatibility, as most of the mean distances between cloud points were <1.48 mm. Phase 3 of the session with the highest number of photos (54.36 ± 15.05) generated the most satisfactory mesh with the best resolution. CONCLUSIONS The proposed protocol is reproducible and feasible in clinical practice, generated satisfactory 3D meshes of the face, being a potential tool for surgical planning and comparison of results. For the implementation of photogrammetry for use in 3D anthropometry, it is necessary to validate this method.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Photogrammetry technology may be useful in implant dentistry, but a systematic review is lacking and is indicated before routine use in clinical practice. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the role of the photogrammetry technology used in implant dentistry and determine its validity as an accurate tool with clinical applications. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four major databases, PubMed MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science, were selected to retrieve articles published from January 2011 to February 2021 based on custom criteria. The search was augmented by a manual search. After screening of the collected articles, data, including study design and setting, type of application, digitizer used, reference body, method of evaluation, and overall outcomes, were extracted. RESULTS Twenty articles were included based on the selection criteria. Most of the articles confirmed that the use of photogrammetry was promising as an implant coordinate transfer system. However, few articles showed its use for 3-dimensional scanning, which might require more development. CONCLUSIONS The initial reports of using photogrammetry technology considered this method as a valid and reliable clinical tool in implant dentistry. More studies to develop the photogrammetry technology and to assess the results with evidence-based research are recommended to enhance its application in different clinical situations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the midfacial soft tissue changes of the face in patients treated with miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE). MATERIALS AND METHODS 3D facial images and intra-oral scans (IOS) were obtained before expansion (T0), immediately after completion of expansion (T1), and 1 year after expansion (T2). The 3D images were superimposed and two 3D distance maps were generated to measure the midfacial soft tissue changes: immediate effects between timepoints T0 and T1 and overall effects between T0 and T2. Changes of the alar width were also measured and dental expansion was measured as the interpremolar width (IPW) on IOS. RESULTS Twenty-nine patients (22 women, 7 men, mean age 25.9 years) were enrolled. The soft tissue in the regions of the nose, left of philtrum, right of philtrum, and upper lip tubercle demonstrated a statistically significant anterior movement of 0.30 mm, 0.93 mm, 0.74 mm, and 0.81 mm, respectively (p < 0.01) immediately after expansion (T0-T1). These changes persisted as an overall effect (T0-T2). The alar width initially increased by 1.59 mm, and then decreased by 0.08 mm after 1 year, but this effect was not significant. The IPW increased by 4.58 mm and remained stable 1 year later. There was no significant correlation between the increase in IPW and alar width (r = 0.35, p = 0.06). CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that MARPE results in significant but small changes of the soft tissue in the peri-oral and nasal regions. However, the clinical importance of these findings is limited. CLINICAL RELEVANCE MARPE is an effective treatment modality to expand the maxilla, incurring only minimal and clinically insignificant changes to the midfacial soft tissues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Smartphone-based photogrammetry (SMPhP) was recently presented as a practical and simple algorithm to create photorealistic 3-dimensional (3D) models that benefit from volumetric presentation of real anatomic dissections. Subsequently, there is a need to adapt the techniques for realistic depiction of layered anatomic structures, such as the course of cranial nerves and deep intracranial structures; the feasibility must be tested empirically. This study sought to adapt and test the technique for visualization of the combined intracranial and extracranial course of the facial nerve's complex anatomy and analyze feasibility and limitations. METHODS We dissected 1 latex-injected cadaver head to depict the facial nerve from the meatal to the extracranial portion. A smartphone camera alone was used to photograph the specimen, and dynamic lighting was applied to improve presentation of deep anatomic structures. Three-dimensional models were created with a cloud-based photogrammetry application. RESULTS Four 3D models were generated. Two models showed the extracranial portions of the facial nerve before and after removal of the parotid gland; 1 model showed the facial nerve in the fallopian canal after mastoidectomy, and 1 model showed the intratemporal segments. Relevant anatomic structures were annotated through a web-viewer platform. The photographic quality of the 3D models provided sufficient resolution for imaging of the extracranial and mastoid portions of the facial nerve, whereas imaging of the meatal segment only lacked sufficient precision and resolution. CONCLUSION A simple and accessible SMPhP algorithm allows 3D visualization of complex intracranial and extracranial neuroanatomy with sufficient detail to realistically depict superficial and deeper anatomic structures.

Abstract
Background: Throughout the history of the city, the architecture of Alexandria, Egypt, has been in contact with world cultures, especially those of the Mediterranean sphere. Alexandria is rich with cultural features dating back seven thousand years. In Alexandria, the heritage value of the city has decreased since the beginning of the third millennium of the Common Era because there is no suitable digital documentation system for these more recent assets. The development of a new technique for preserving heritage buildings is required. For example, image- based techniques can gather data using photography, panoramic photography, and close-range photogrammetry. In this research, we primarily seek to implement Heritage Digitisation Process Phases (HDPP) by introducing both the Building Information Modelling (BIM) environment and the point clouds for achieving a Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM) model and to establish new documentation methods in architectural conservation and built-heritage preservation, i.e., Virtual Reality (VR) and Website Heritage Documentation (WHD). Methods: The methodology is designed to preserve and manage cultural heritage using HDPP for the promotion of heritage building preservation in Alexandria. Results: The results show that the application of HDPP has led to the creation of a digital database about the Société Immobilière building, which was chosen as a case study for this research. Conclusions: Implementation of HDPP and usage of new documentation methods i.e., VR and WHD create a digital path to help strengthen its image and connect the place to users, recreational areas are created to communicate and explore the city’s architectural history.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Three-dimensional facial scans have recently begun to play an increasingly important role in the peri-therapeutic management of oral and maxillofacial and head and neck surgery cases. Face scan images can be generated by optical facial scanners utilizing line-laser, stereophotography, or structured light modalities, as well as from volumetric data: for example, from cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). This study aimed to evaluate whether two low-cost procedures for the creation of three-dimensional face scan images were capable of producing sufficiently accurate data sets for clinical analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty healthy volunteers were included in the study. Two test objects with defined dimensions (Lego bricks) were attached to the forehead and the left cheek of each volunteer. Facial anthropometric values (i.e., the distances between the medial canthi, the lateral canthi, the nasal alae, and the angles of the mouth) were first measured manually. Subsequently, face scans were performed with a smart device and manual photogrammetry and the values obtained were compared with the manually measured data sets. RESULTS The anthropometric distances deviated, on average, 2.17 mm from the manual measurements (smart device scanning deviation 3.01 mm, photogrammetry deviation 1.34 mm), with seven out of eight deviations being statistically significant. For the Lego brick, from a total of 32 angles, 19 values demonstrated a significant difference from the original 90° angles. The average deviation was 6.5° (smart device scanning deviation 10.1°, photogrammetry deviation 2.8°). CONCLUSION Manual photogrammetry demonstrated greater accuracy when creating three-dimensional face scan images; however, smart devices are more user-friendly. Dental professionals should monitor camera and smart device technical improvements carefully when choosing and adequate technique for 3D scanning.

Abstract
Flowers are intricate and integrated three-dimensional (3D) structures predominantly studied in 2D due to the difficulty in quantitatively characterising their morphology in 3D. Given the recent development of analytical methods for high-dimensional data, the reconstruction of flower models in three dimensions represents the limiting factor to studying flowers in 3D. We developed a floral photogrammetry protocol to reconstruct 3D models of flowers based on images taken with a digital single-lens reflex camera, a turntable and a portable lightbox. We demonstrate that photogrammetry allows a rapid and accurate reconstruction of 3D models of flowers from 2D images. It can reconstruct all visible parts of flowers and has the advantage of keeping colour information. We illustrated its use by studying the shape and colour of 18 Gesneriaceae species. Photogrammetry is an affordable alternative to micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) that requires minimal investment and equipment, allowing it to be used directly in the field. It has the potential to stimulate research on the evolution and ecology of flowers by providing a simple way to access 3D morphological data from a variety of flower types.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of intraoral scanning technology has effectively enhanced the digital documentation of orthodontic dental casts. Albeit, the expense of this technology is the main limitation. The purpose of the present study was to assess the validity and reliability of virtual three-dimensional (3D) models of orthodontic dental casts, which were constructed using smartphone-based 3D photogrammetry. METHODS A smartphone was used to capture a set of two-dimensional images for 30 orthodontic dental casts. The captured images were processed to construct 3D virtual images using Agisoft and 3DF Zephyr software programs. To evaluate the accuracy of the virtual 3D models obtained by the two software programs, the virtual 3D models were compared with cone-beam computed tomography scans of the 30 dental casts. Colored maps were used to express the absolute distances between the points of each compared two surfaces; then, the means of the 100%, 95th, and 90th of the absolute distances were calculated. A Wilcoxon signed-rank test was applied to detect any significant differences. RESULTS The differences between the constructed 3D images and the cone-beam computed tomography scans were not statistically significant and were accepted clinically. The deviations were mostly in the interproximal areas and in the occlusal details (sharp cusps and deep pits and fissures). CONCLUSIONS This study found that smartphone-based stereophotogrammetry is an accurate and reliable method for 3D modeling of orthodontic dental casts, with errors less than the accepted clinically detectable error of 0.5 mm. Smartphone photogrammetry succeeded in presenting occlusal details, but it was difficult to accurately reproduce interproximal areas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accuracy studies of biophotogrammetry protocols require standardization similar to radiography. OBJECTIVE To estimate the diagnostic accuracy of a biophotogrammetric assessment protocol for cervical hyperlordosis, compared to radiography, and its intra- and inter-examiner reliability for measuring the cervical lordosis angle. METHODS A study of diagnostic accuracy in women complaining of cervical pain. Two photos were taken using the CorelDraw biophotogrammetric protocol and one radiograph using the Cobb C1-C7 method. The Intra- and Inter-examiner reliability was calculated using the Kappa index and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The Bland-Altman plot and the ROC curve were presented. RESULTS The sample consisted of 19 women. The accuracy of biophotogrammetry was 94.73% and the reliability between biophotogrammetry and radiography presented an ICC of 0.84 and a Kappa of 0.87. The excellent intra (ICC = 0.94) and inter-examiner (ICC = 0.86) reliability of the biophotogrammetry was confirmed. The area under the ROC curve was 93.5%. The Bland-Altman plot indicated differences between the two instruments close to the mean (1.5∘). CONCLUSION The biophotogrammetric protocol proved to be accurate in diagnosing cervical hyperlordosis, with excellent reliability between the biophotogrammetric and radiographic assessments. It also demonstrated excellent intra- and inter-examiner reliability in measuring the cervical lordosis angle.

Abstract
Recently, the term smartphone photogrammetry gained popularity. This suggests that photogrammetry may become a simple measurement tool by virtually every smartphone user. The research was undertaken to clarify whether it is appropriate to use the Structure from Motion-Multi Stereo View (SfM-MVS) procedure with self-calibration as it is done in Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle photogrammetry. First, the geometric stability of smartphone cameras was tested. Fourteen smartphones were calibrated on the checkerboard test field. The process was repeated multiple times. These observations were found: (1) most smartphone cameras have lower stability of the internal orientation parameters than a Digital Single-Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera, and (2) the principal distance and position of the principal point are constantly changing. Then, based on images from two selected smartphones, 3D models of a small sculpture were developed. The SfM-MVS method was used, with self-calibration and pre-calibration variants. By comparing the resultant models with the reference DSLR-created model it was shown that introducing calibration obtained in the test field instead of self-calibration improves the geometry of 3D models. In particular, deformations of local concavities and convexities decreased. In conclusion, there is real potential in smartphone photogrammetry, but it also has its limits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Facial mutilation and deformities can be caused by cancer, tumours, injuries, infections, and inherited or acquired deformities and has the potential to degrade one's quality of life by interfering with fundamental tasks like communication, breathing, feeding, and aesthetics. Depending on the type of defect, producing maxillofacial prostheses for the rehabilitation of patients with various defects can be challenging and complex. The prosthesis is used to replace missing or damaged parts of the cranium and face, like the nose, auricle, orbit, and surrounding tissues, as well as missing areas of soft and hard tissue, with the primary goal of increasing the patient's quality of life by rehabilitating oral functions such as speech, swallowing, and mastication. Traditional maxillofacial prosthesis impression and fabrication processes include a number of complicated steps that are costly, time-consuming, and uncomfortable for the patient. These rely on the knowledge of the maxillofacial team, dental clinicians, and maxillofacial technician. The foundation of the impression is the keystone for creating a prosthesis. However, this is the most time-consuming and difficult chair-side operation in maxillofacial prosthesis manufacturing since it requires prolonged interaction with the patient. The field of prosthesis fabrication is being transformed by the digital revolution. Digital technology allows for more accurate impression data to be gathered in less time (3 to 5 min) than traditional methods, lowering patient anxiety. Digital impressions eliminate the need for messy impression materials and provide patients with a more pleasant experience. This method bypasses the procedure of traditional gypsum model fabrication. This eliminates the disparity caused by a dimensional distortion of the impression material and gypsum setting expansion. Traditional dental impression processes leave enough room for errors, such as voids or flaws, air bubbles, or deformities, while current technology for prosthesis planning has emerged as an alternative means to improve patient acceptability and pleasure, not only because the end result is a precisely fitted restoration but also because the chair-side adjustments required are reduced. The most frequent approaches for creating 3D virtual models are the following. To begin, 3D scanning is employed, in which the subjects are scanned in three dimensions, and the point cloud data is used to create a virtual digital model. METHODS It will be a hospital-based randomised control trial, carried out at the Department of Prosthodontics, Sharad Pawar Dental College, Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha, a part of Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences (Deemed University). A total of 45 patients will be selected from the outpatient department (OPD) of the Department of Prosthodontics. All the patients will be provided written consent before their participation in the study. METHODOLOGY 1. Patient screening will be done, and the patient will be allocated to three techniques that are the conventional manual method, photogrammetry method, and 3D scanning in a randomised manner 2. The impression of the defect will be recorded by conventional manual method, photogrammetry method, and 3D scanning 3. The defect will be modelled in three ways: first is as per the manual dimension taken on the patient, second is the organisation of photographic image taken with lab standards and third is plotting of point cloud data to generate the virtual 3D model 4. For photogrammetric prosthesis design, finite photos/images will be taken at multiple angles to model the 3D virtual design. With the use of minimum photographs, the 3D modelling can be performed by using freeware, and a mould is obtained 5. The CAD software was used to design the prosthesis, and the final negative mould can be printed using additive manufacturing 6. The mould fabricated by all three methods will be analysed by a software using reverse engineering technology Study design: Randomised control trial Duration: 2 years Sample size: 45 patients DISCUSSION: Rodrigo Salazar-Gamarra1, Rosemary Seelaus, and Jorge Vicente Lopes da Silva et al., in the year 2016, discussed, as part of a method for manufacturing face prostheses utilising a mobile device, free software, and a photo capture protocol, that 2D captures of the anatomy of a patient with a facial defect were converted into a 3D model using monoscopic photogrammetry and a mobile device. The visual and technical integrity of the resulting digital models was assessed. The technological approach and models that resulted were thoroughly explained and evaluated for technical and clinical value. Marta Revilla-León, Wael Att, and Dr Med Dent et al. (2020) used a coordinate measuring equipment which was used to assess the accuracy of complete arch implant impression processes utilising conventional, photogrammetry, and intraoral scanning. Corina Marilena Cristache and Ioana Tudor Liliana Moraru et al. in the year 2021 provided an update on defect data acquisition, editing, and design using open-source and commercially available software in digital workflow in maxillofacial prosthodontics. This research looked at randomised clinical trials, case reports, case series, technical comments, letters to the editor, and reviews involving humans that were written in English and included detailed information on data acquisition, data processing software, and maxillofacial prosthetic part design.

Abstract
The precision modelling of intrinsic camera geometry is a common issue in the fields of photogrammetry (PH) and computer vision (CV). However, in both fields, intrinsic camera geometry has been modelled differently, which has led researchers to adopt different definitions of intrinsic camera parameters (ICPs), including focal length, principal point, radial distortion, decentring distortion, affinity and shear. These ICPs are indispensable for vision-based measurements. These differences can confuse researchers from one field when using ICPs obtained from a camera calibration software package developed in another field. This paper clarifies the ICP definitions used in each field and proposes an ICP transformation algorithm. The originality of this study lies in its use of least-squares adjustment, applying the image points involving ICPs defined in PH and CV image frames to convert a complete set of ICPs. This ICP transformation method is more rigorous than the simplified formulas used in conventional methods. Selecting suitable image points can increase the accuracy of the generated adjustment model. In addition, the proposed ICP transformation method enables users to apply mixed software in the fields of PH and CV. To validate the transformation algorithm, two cameras with different view angles were calibrated using typical camera calibration software packages applied in each field to obtain ICPs. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed transformation algorithm can be used to convert ICPs derived from different software packages. Both the PH-to-CV and CV-to-PH transformation processes were executed using complete mathematical camera models. We also compared the rectified images and distortion plots generated using different ICPs. Furthermore, by comparing our method with the state of art method, we confirm the performance improvement of ICP conversions between PH and CV models.

Abstract
This article concerns the research of the HUBO full-body scanner, which includes the analysis and selection of the scanner's geometrical parameters in order to obtain the highest possible accuracy of the reconstruction of a human figure. In the scanner version analyzed in this paper, smartphone cameras are used as sensors. In order to process the collected photos into a 3D model, the photogrammetry technique is applied. As part of the work, dependencies between the geometrical parameters of the scanner are derived, which allows to significantly reduce the number of degrees of freedom in the selection of its geometrical parameters. Based on these dependencies, a numerical analysis is carried out, as a result of which the initial values of the geometrical parameters are pre-selected and distribution of scanner cameras is visualized. As part of the experimental research, the influence of selected scanner parameters on the scanning accuracy is analyzed. For the experimental research, a specially prepared dummy was used instead of the participation of a real human, which allowed to ensure the constancy of the scanned object. The accuracy of the object reconstruction was assessed in relation to the reference 3D model obtained with a scanner of superior measurement uncertainty. On the basis of the conducted research, a method for the selection of the scanner's geometrical parameters was finally verified, leading to the arrangement of cameras around a human, which guarantees high accuracy of the reconstruction. Additionally, to quantify the results, the quality rates were used, taking into account not only the obtained measurement uncertainty of the scanner, but also the processing time and the resulting efficiency.

Abstract
Automated inspection technology based on computer vision is now widely used in the manufacturing industry with high speed and accuracy. However, metal parts always appear in high gloss or shadow on the surface, resulting in the overexposure of the captured images. It is necessary to adjust the light direction and view to keep defects out of overexposure and shadow areas. However, it is too tedious to adjust the position of the light direction and view the variety of parts' geometries. To address this problem, we design a photometric-stereo-based defect detection system (PSBDDS), which combines the photometric stereo with defect detection to eliminate the interference of highlights and shadows. Based on the PSBDDS, we introduce a photometric-stereo-based defect detection framework, which takes images captured in multiple directional lights as input and obtains the normal map through the photometric stereo model. Then, the detection model uses the normal map as input to locate and classify defects. Existing learning-based photometric stereo methods and defect detection methods have achieved good performance in their respective fields. However, photometric stereo datasets and defect detection datasets are not sufficient for training and testing photometric-stereo-based defect detection methods, thus we create a photometric stereo defect detection (PSDD) dataset using our PSBDDS to eliminate gaps between learning-based photometric stereo and defect detection methods. Furthermore, experimental results prove the effectiveness of the proposed PSBBD and PSDD dataset.

Abstract
Background: Throughout the history of the city, the architecture of Alexandria, Egypt, has been in contact with world cultures, especially those of the Mediterranean sphere. Alexandria is rich with cultural features dating back seven thousand years. In Alexandria, the heritage value of the city has decreased because there is no suitable documentation system for these more recent assets. The development of a new technique for preserving heritage buildings is required. For example, image- based techniques can gather data using photography, panoramic photography, and close-range photogrammetry. In this research, we primarily seek to implement Heritage Digitisation Process Phases (HDPP) and establish new documentation methods in architectural conservation and built-heritage preservation, i.e., Virtual Reality (VR) and Website Heritage Documentation (WHD). Methods: The methodology is designed to preserve and manage cultural heritage using HDPP for the promotion of heritage building preservation in Alexandria. Results: The results show that the application of HDPP has led to the creation of a digital database about the Société Immobilière building, which was chosen as a case study for this research. Conclusions: Implementation of HDPP and usage of new documentation methods i.e., VR and WHD create a digital path to help strengthen its image and connect the place to users, recreational areas are created to communicate and explore the city’s architectural history.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aging is widely known to be associated with changes in standing posture. Recent advancements in the field of computerized image processing have allowed for improved analyses of several health conditions using photographs. However, photogrammetry's potential for assessing aging-associated postural changes is yet unclear. Thus, the aim of this review is to evaluate the potential of photogrammetry in quantifying age-related postural changes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched the databases PubMed Central, Scopus, Embase, and SciELO from the beginning of records to March 2021. Inclusion criteria were: (a) participants were older adults aged ≥60; (b) standing posture was assessed by photogrammetric means. PRISMA guidelines were followed. We used the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale to assess methodological quality. RESULTS Of 946 articles reviewed, after screening and the removal of duplicates, 11 reports were found eligible for full-text assessment, of which 5 full studies met the inclusion criteria. Significant changes occurring with aging included deepening of thoracic kyphosis, flattening of lumbar lordosis, and increased sagittal inclination. CONCLUSIONS These changes agree with commonly described aging-related postural changes. However, detailed quantification of these changes was not found; the photogrammetrical methods used were often unvalidated and did not adhere to known protocols. These methodological difficulties call for further studies using validated photogrammetrical methods and improved research methodologies.

Abstract
UAVs are sensor platforms increasingly used in precision agriculture, especially for crop and environmental monitoring using photogrammetry. In this work, light drone flights were performed on three consecutive days (with different weather conditions) on an experimental agricultural field to evaluate the photogrammetric performances due to colour calibration. Thirty random reconstructions from the three days and six different areas of the field were performed. The results showed that calibrated orthophotos appeared greener and brighter than the uncalibrated ones, better representing the actual colours of the scene. Parameter reporting errors were always lower in the calibrated reconstructions and the other quantitative parameters were always lower in the non-calibrated ones, in particular, significant differences were observed in the percentage of camera stations on the total number of images and the reprojection error. The results obtained showed that it is possible to obtain better orthophotos, by means of a calibration algorithm, to rectify the atmospheric conditions that affect the image obtained. This proposed colour calibration protocol could be useful when integrated into robotic platforms and sensors for the exploration and monitoring of different environments.

Abstract
SfM/MVS photogrammetry has received increasing attention due to its convenience, broadening the range of its applications into archaeology and anthropology. Because the accuracy of SfM/MVS depends on photography, one important issue is that incorrect or low-density point clouds are found in 3D models due to poor overlapping between images. A systematic way of taking photographs solve these problems, though it has not been well established and the accuracy has not been examined either, with some exceptions. The present study aims to (i) develop an efficient method for recording pottery using an automated turntable and (ii) assess its accuracy through a comparison with 3D models made by laser scanning. We recorded relatively simple pottery manufactured by prehistoric farmers in the Japanese archipelago using SfM/MVS photogrammetry and laser scanning. Further, by measuring the Hausdorff distance between 3D models made using these two methods, we show that their difference is negligibly small, suggesting that our method is sufficiently accurate to record pottery.

Abstract
This study proposes a portrait image relighting system based on a simplified photometric stereo method. The system, comprising a controllable digital single lens reflex camera and five polarized flashlights, can obtain a color shade-less image and synthesize a normal map from shaded images. When calibrating the photometric stereo, the normal map is taken as a linear combination of shaded images and clamped with respect to specific normal directions on a white-coated sphere. The relit images were generated through inverse rendering in a predefined virtual environment. To evaluate personal preference, 24 adult subjects were recruited to conduct subjective assessments comparing the deep portrait relighting method results. From experiments regarding different scenarios, we concluded that the proposed system based on a simplified photometric stereo performs acceptably for relighting portrait images.

Abstract
Here, we present a new method to scan a large number of lithic artefacts using three-dimensional scanning technology. Despite the rising use of high-resolution 3D surface scanners in archaeological sciences, no virtual studies have focused on the 3D digitization and analysis of small lithic implements such as bladelets, microblades, and microflakes. This is mostly due to difficulties in creating reliable 3D meshes of these artefacts resulting from several inherent features (i.e., size, translucency, and acute edge angles), which compromise the efficiency of structured light or laser scanners and photogrammetry. Our new protocol StyroStone addresses this problem by proposing a step-by-step procedure relying on the use of micro-computed tomographic technology, which is able to capture the 3D shape of small lithic implements in high detail. We tested a system that enables us to scan hundreds of artefacts together at once within a single scanning session lasting a few hours. As also bigger lithic artefacts (i.e., blades) are present in our sample, this protocol is complemented by a short guide on how to effectively scan such artefacts using a structured light scanner (Artec Space Spider). Furthermore, we estimate the accuracy of our scanning protocol using principal component analysis of 3D Procrustes shape coordinates on a sample of meshes of bladelets obtained with both micro-computed tomography and another scanning device (i.e., Artec Micro). A comprehensive review on the use of 3D geometric morphometrics in lithic analysis and other computer-based approaches is provided in the introductory chapter to show the advantages of improving 3D scanning protocols and increasing the digitization of our prehistoric human heritage.

Abstract
Photography and photogrammetry have recently become among the most widespread and preferred visualisation methods for the representation of small objects and artefacts. People want to see the past, not only know about it; and the ability to visualise objects into virtually realistic representations is fundamental for researchers, students and educators. Here, we present two new methods, the ‘Small Object and Artefact Photography’ (‘SOAP’) and the ‘High Resolution “DIY” Photogrammetry’ (‘HRP’) protocols. The ‘SOAP’ protocol involves the photographic application of modern digital techniques for the representation of any small object. The ‘HRP’ protocol involves the photographic capturing, digital reconstruction and three-dimensional representation of small objects. These protocols follow optimised step-by-step explanations for the production of high-resolution two- and three-dimensional object imaging, achievable with minimal practice and access to basic equipment and softwares. These methods were developed to allow anyone to easily and inexpensively produce high-quality images and models for any use, from simple graphic visualisations to complex analytical, statistical and spatial analyses.

Abstract
In the world, there is a growing need for lower limb prostheses due to a rising number of amputations caused primarily, by diabetic foot. Researchers enable functional and comfortable prostheses through prosthetic design by integrating new technologies applied to the traditional handcrafted method for prosthesis fabrication that is still current. That is why computer vision shows to be a promising tool for the integration of 3D reconstruction that may be useful for prosthetic design. This work has the objective to design, prototype, and test a functional system to scan plaster cast molds, which may serve as a platform for future technologies for lower limb reconstruction applications. The image capture system comprises 5 stereoscopic color and depth cameras, each with 4 DOF mountings on an enveloping frame, as well as algorithms for calibration, segmentation, registration, and surface reconstruction. The segmentation metrics of dice coefficient and Hausdorff distance (HD) show strong visual similarity with an average similarity of 87% and average error of 6.40 mm, respectively. Moving forward, the system was tested on a known 3D printed model obtained from a computer tomography scan to which comparison results via HD show an average error of ≤1.93 mm thereby making the system competitive against the systems reviewed from the state-of-the-art.

Abstract
The use of "belly scoring" can offer a novel, non-invasive objective management tool to gauge food intake between individuals, groups, and populations, and thus, population fitness. As food availability is increasingly affected by predation, ecological competition, climate change, habitat modification, and other human activities, an accurate belly scoring tool can facilitate comparisons among wildlife populations, serving as an early warning indicator of threats to wildlife population health and potential population collapse. In social species, belly scores can also be a tool to understand social behavior and ranking. We developed and applied the first rigorous quantitative photogrammetric methodology to measure belly scores of wild painted dogs (Lycaon pictus). Our methodology involves: (1) Rigorous selection of photographs of the dorso/lateral profile of individuals at a right angle to the camera, (2) photogrammetrically measuring belly chord length and "belly drop" in pixels, (3) adjusting belly chord length as a departure from a standardized leg angle, and (4) converting pixel measurements to ratios to eliminate the need to introduce distance from the camera. To highlight a practical application, this belly score method was applied to 631 suitable photographs of 15 painted dog packs that included 186 individuals, all collected between 2004-2015 from allopatric painted dog populations in and around Hwange (n = 462) and Mana Pools National Parks (n = 169) in Zimbabwe. Variation in mean belly scores exhibited a cyclical pattern throughout the year, corresponding to biologically significant patterns to include denning demand and prey availability. Our results show significant differences between belly scores of the two different populations we assessed, thus highlighting food stress in the Hwange population. In the face of growing direct and indirect anthropogenic disturbances, this standardised methodology can provide a rapid, species-specific non-invasive management tool that can be applied across studies to rapidly detect emergent threats.

Abstract
Surround-view panoramic images and videos have become a popular form of media for interactive viewing on mobile devices and virtual reality headsets. Viewing such media provides a sense of immersion by allowing users to control their view direction and experience an entire environment. When using a virtual reality headset, the level of immersion can be improved by leveraging stereoscopic capabilities. Stereoscopic images are generated in pairs, one for the left eye and one for the right eye, and result in providing an important depth cue for the human visual system. For computer generated imagery, rendering proper stereo pairs is well known for a fixed view. However, it is much more difficult to create omnidirectional stereo pairs for a surround-view projection that work well when looking in any direction. One major drawback of traditional omnidirectional stereo images is that they suffer from binocular misalignment in the peripheral vision as a user's view direction approaches the zenith / nadir (north / south pole) of the projection sphere. This paper presents a real-time geometry-based approach for omnidirectional stereo rendering that fits into the standard rendering pipeline. Our approach includes tunable parameters that enable pole merging - a reduction in the stereo effect near the poles that can minimize binocular misalignment. Results from a user study indicate that pole merging reduces visual fatigue and discomfort associated with binocular misalignment without inhibiting depth perception.

Abstract
The use of high quality facemasks is indispensable in the light of the current COVID
pandemic. This study proposes a fully automatic technique to design a face specific mask.
Through the use of stereophotogrammetry, computer-assisted design and three-dimensional
(3D) printing, we describe a protocol for manufacturing facemasks perfectly adapted to the
individual face characteristics. The face specific mask was compared to a universal design
of facemask and different filter container’s designs were merged with the mask body.
Subjective assessment of the face specific mask demonstrated tight closure at the nose,
mouth and chin area, and permits the normal wearing of glasses. A screw-drive locking
system is advised for easy assembly of the filter components. Automation of the process
enables high volume production but still allows sufficient designer interaction to answer
specific requirements. The suggested protocol can be used to provide more comfortable,
effective and sustainable solution compared to a single use, standardized mask. Subsequent
research on printing materials, sterilization technique and compliance with international
regulations will facilitate the introduction of the face specific mask in clinical
practice as well as for general use.

Abstract
Natural history collections are yielding more information as digitization brings specimen data to researchers, connects specimens across museums, and as new technologies allow for more large-scale data collection. Therefore, a key goal in specimen digitization is developing methods that both increase access and allow for the highest yield of phenomic data. 3D digitization is increasingly popular because it has the potential to meet both aspects of that key goal. However, current methods overlook or do not prioritize some of the most sought-after phenotypic traits, those involving the external appearance of specimens, especially color. Here, we introduce an efficient and cost-effective pipeline for 3D photogrammetry to capture the external appearance of natural history specimens and other museum objects. 3D photogrammetry aligns and compares sets of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of photos to create 3D models. The hardware set-up requires little physical space and around $3,000 in initial investment, while the software pipeline requires $1,400/year for proprietary software subscriptions (with open-source alternatives). The creation of each 3D model takes 1-2 hours/specimen and much of the software pipeline is automated with minimal supervision required, including the onerous step of mesh processing. We showcase the method by creating 3D models for most of the type specimens in the Moore Laboratory of Zoology bird collection and show that digital bill measurements are comparable to hand-taken measurements. Color data, while not included as part of this pipeline, is easily extractable from the models and one of the most promising areas of data collection. Future advances can adapt the method for ultraviolet reflectance capture and increased efficiency and model quality. Combined with genomic data, phenomic data from 3D models including photogrammetry will open new doors to understanding organismal evolution.

Abstract
The nose is the most prominent part of the face and is a crucial factor for facial esthetics as well as facial reconstruction. Although some studies have explored the features of external nose and predicted the relationships between skeletal structures and soft tissues in the nasal region, the reliability and applicability of methods used in previous studies have not been reproduced. In addition, the majority of previous studies have focused on the sagittal direction, whereas the thickness of the soft tissues was rarely analyzed in three dimensions. A few studies have explained the specific characteristics of the nose of Chinese individuals. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the hard nasal structures and soft external nose in three dimensions and to predict the morphology of the nose based on hard-tissue measurements. To eliminate the influence of low resolution of CBCT and increase the accuracy of measurement, three-dimensional (3D) images captured by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and 3dMD photogrammetry system were used in this study. Twenty-six measurements (15 measurements for hard tissue and 11 measurements for soft tissue) based on 5 craniometric and 5 capulometric landmarks of the nose of 120 males and 120 females were obtained. All of the subjects were randomly divided into an experimental group (180 subjects consisting of 90 males and 90 females) and a test group (60 subjects consisting of 30 males and 30 females). Correlation coefficients between hard- and soft-tissue measurements were analyzed, and regression equations were obtained based on the experimental group and served as predictors to estimate nasal morphology in the test group. Most hard- and soft-tissue measurements appeared significantly different between genders. The strongest correlation was found between basis nasi protrusion and nasospinale protrusion (0.499) in males, and nasal height and nTr-nsTr (0.593) in females. For the regression equations, the highest value of R2 was observed in the nasal bridge length in males (0.257) and nasal tip protrusion in females (0.389). The proportion of subjects with predicted errors < 10% was over 86.7% in males and 70.0% in females. Our study proved that a combined CBCT and 3dMD photogrammetry system is a reliable method for nasal morphology estimation. Further research should investigate other influencing factors such as age, skeletal types, facial proportions, or population variance in nasal morphology estimation.
