Table VII.

A comparison of surface acquisition using the freehand probe and the range scanner. The number of scanner points was randomly down-sampled to match the number of points acquired by a freehand probe in 20 seconds. The resulting residual actually improves.

Data type Points Acquisition time Initial guess FRE Registration time Mean distance, mm (max)
Freehand probe 797 20 sec 7.15 mm 15 sec 1.23±1.22 (8.21)
Range scanner 804 21 sec 5.02 mm 13 sec 0.47±0.40 (3.06)
