The Pluses and Minuses of Obtaining Measurements from Digital Scans
نویسندگان
چکیده
Digital scanners are commonplace and are used in many different applications to obtain three-dimensional shapes and linear and circumferential measurements. Even though scanners can be highly accurate, measurements obtained from scanners can vary depending on how an object is scanned, aligned and processed. In this study, we examined the effect of three different alignment methods of foot scans and their effects on ten different measurements. Variations among methods in capturing foot length are relatively small relative to arch length. The foot girths can be quite sensitive to the registration process depending on the complexity of the algorithms used. As expected, linear and girth measurements based on anatomical landmarks will always be independent of any registration process and are thus good ways to obtain repeatable measurements.

The Ups and Downs of Baryon Oscillations
Baryon acoustic oscillations, measured through the patterned distribution of galaxies or other baryon tracing objects on very large (> ∼ 100 Mpc) scales, offer a possible geometric probe of cosmological distances. Pluses and minuses in this approach’s leverage for understanding dark energy are discussed, as are systematic uncertainties requiring further investigation. Conclusions are that 1) BA...

Background: Jaw bone quality plays an essential role in treatment planning and prognosis of dental implants. Regarding several available methods for bone density measurements, they are not routinely used before implant surgery due to hard accessibility.Objective: An in vitro investigation of correlation between average gray scale in direct digital radiographs and Hounsfield units in CT-Scan pro...
متن کاملOn the Periodicity of Certain Recursive Sequences
In 2000, Viswanath showed that random Fibonacci sequences grow exponentially and calculated the rate at which they grow assuming the coin flipped was fair. In this paper, we explore the Fibonacci sequences generated by finite, repeating sequences of pluses and minuses. The main results of this paper will be to show the necessary conditions for a sequence to be periodic, as well as to show all t...
متن کاملAccuracy and precision of measurements obtained from conventional cephalograms and CBCT scan in orthodontics linear diagnostic measurements
Background and Purpose: Due to the important role of imaging in the diagnosis and treatment plan in orthodontics, CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) images because of their three-dimensional nature, can minimize the disadvantages of two-dimensional images such as magnification, distortion, or superimposition. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of conventional cephalograms...
