Obtaining 3D craniofacial morphometric data is essential in a variety of medical and educational disciplines. In this study, we explore smartphone-based photogrammetry with photos and video recordings as an effective tool to create accurate and accessible metrics from head 3D models. The research involves the acquisition of craniofacial 3D models on both volunteers and head mannequins using a Samsung Galaxy S22 smartphone.

The assessment of cranial deformation is relevant in the field of medicine dealing with infants, especially in paediatric neurosurgery and paediatrics. To address this demand, the smartphone-based solution PhotoMeDAS has been developed, harnessing mobile devices to create three-dimensional (3D) models of infants' heads and, from them, automatic cranial deformation reports. Therefore, it is crucial to examine the accuracy achievable with different mobile devices under similar conditions so prospective users can consider this aspect when using the smartphone-based solution.

A workflow for the photogrammetric combination of non-invasive multispectral imaging techniques ranging from ultraviolet (UV) and visible (VIS) to near infrared (NIR) for the investigation of wall paintings is presented. Hereby, different methods for image analysis and visualisation techniques are discussed. This includes the combination of spectral bands in hybrid false-colour images and image analysis by applying NDVI/NDPI and PCA.

Article Synopsis
  • The study simulated a suspected forgery of a three-page real estate rental agreement to understand how much reliable information can be extracted from a single piece of evidence and to identify effective techniques for forgery detection.
  • Seventeen laboratories from sixteen countries were tasked with answering questions related to the document's printing techniques, paper consistency, staples, ink, and the age of the headings and signatures.
  • Various methods, including spectroscopic and imaging techniques, were assessed, revealing that no single method could completely solve all tasks, with correct results predominantly found in the discrimination of printer toners but errors occurring with ink distinctions.

Cranial deformation and deformational plagiocephaly (DP) in particular affect an important percentage of infants. The assessment and diagnosis of the deformation are commonly carried by manual measurements that provide low interuser accuracy. Another approach is the use of three-dimensional (3D) models.

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to undertake the colorimetric camera characterization procedure based on a Gaussian process (GP). GPs are powerful and flexible nonparametric models for multivariate nonlinear functions. To validate the GP model, we compare the results achieved with a second-order polynomial model, which is the most widely used regression model for characterization purposes.

Background: Cranial deformation, including deformational plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, and craniosynostosis, is a condition that affects a large number of infants. Despite its prevalence, there are no standards for the systematic evaluation of the cranial deformation. Usually, the deformation is measured manually by the use of calipers.

Radiometric values on digital imagery are affected by several sources of uncertainty. A practical, comprehensive and flexible procedure to analyze the radiometric values and the uncertainty effects due to the camera sensor system is described in this paper. The procedure is performed on the grey level output signal using image raw units with digital numbers ranging from 0 to 2(12)-1.
