Morphometrics of the molar crown is based traditionally on diameter measurements but is
nowadays more often based on 2D image analysis of crown outlines. An alternative …

The development of optical 3D shape measurement methods is rapidly gaining importance
as industry raises its demands in high technical performance of final products, short …

This chapter is about the physical limitations of optical 3D sensors. The ultimate limit of the
measurement uncertainty will be discussed; in other words:“How much 3D information are …

The surface reconstruction of objects by means of digital photogrammetry and terrestrial
laser scanning (TLS) has been a topic of research for long time. This has led to high …

In this paper we address the main problems and available solutions for the generation of 3D
models from terrestrial images. Close range photogrammetry deals since many years with …
