Towards Accurate Photogrammetry Using Molded Markers.

IDEKO Research Center, Basque Research and Technology Alliance (BRTA), 20870 Elgoibar, Spain.

Published: December 2024

Traditional marker-based photogrammetry systems often require the attachment and removal of a sticker for each measured point, involving labor-intensive manual steps. This paper presents an innovative approach that utilizes raised, cross-shaped markers, referred to as 'molded markers', directly embedded into composite pieces. In this study, these markers, commonly employed in other industrial processes, serve as fiducial markers for accurate photogrammetry. A two-stage detection algorithm is developed to accurately identify their centers: initial approximate detection by a Faster R-CNN model, followed by accurate localization using a classical cross center detection algorithm. This study investigates the pertinence of using polarimetric images to guarantee the highest detection rate and accuracy even in adverse lighting conditions. Experimental results demonstrate the viability of using these markers in accurate photogrammetry systems, achieving a median accuracy of 0.170 (interquartile range (IQR) 0.069 to 0.368) mm/m while enhancing automation and system usability.

Protocol for 3D photogrammetry and morphological digitization of complex skulls.

STAR Protoc

January 2025

Department of Biology and Biotechnologies "Charles Darwin", Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy. Electronic address:

Here, we present a protocol for 3D photogrammetry and morphological digitization of skulls, including complex ones with tusks, antlers, and horns, which are challenging to reconstruct digitally. We describe steps for setting up specimens for image acquisition, including camera and lighting configurations, and the subsequent image processing to generate high-quality 3D models. We also outline the extraction of morphological data for accurate geometric morphometric analyses.

Two experimental methods to integrate intra-oral scans into 3D stereophotogrammetric facial images.

Clin Oral Investig

January 2025

Department of Dentistry Section Orthodontics and Craniofacial Biology, Radboud University Medical Center, P.O. Box 9101, Nijmegen, 6500 HB, The Netherlands.

Objectives: For this research two different ways for integrating intra-oral scans into three-dimensional (3D) stereophotogrammetric images are analyzed and compared to the gold standard method.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed. For each patient a complete dataset was collected, which was used to generate 3D fusion models by three different methods: method A using cheek retractors, method B using a tracer and method C using full-skull CBCT.
