Table 1.
Comparison of the 3D coordinates for the three fiducial points identified by automated and manual stereophotometry, and direct anthropometry in terms of the average difference (ie, the geodesic distance between the pair of coordinates being compared).
| Type of comparison | Instrument | Average difference [μ ± σ (mm)]
|
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nipples (#) | Sternal notch (#) | Umbilicus (#) | ||
| Manual stereophotometry vs. automated | DSP800 | 8.0 ± 4.4 (22) | 19.4 ± 10.0 (11) | 8.2 ± 6.5 (11) |
| 3dMDTorso | 5.2 ± 2.4 (24) | 14.0 ± 6.5 (12) | 4.4 ± 3.0 (12) | |
| Direct anthropometry vs. automated | DSP800 | 5.8 ± 3.6 (22) | 22.4 ± 6.5 (11) | 11.5 ± 10.9 (11) |
Note: The number of images (#), evaluated for each fiducial point is denoted within parentheses.
