Evaluation of 3D surface scanners for skin documentation in forensic medicine: comparison of benchmark surfaces

摘要

BackgroundTwo 3D surface scanners using collimated light patterns were evaluated in a new application domain: to document details of surfaces similar to the ones encountered in forensic skin pathology. Since these scanners have not been specifically designed for forensic skin pathology, we tested their performance under practical constraints in an application domain that is to be considered new.
