Preoperative and final postoperative 3dMD stereo photogrammetric images from patients who met the inclusion criteria had been collected as part of routine clinical imaging protocols in place at each study site. This large, retrospective, multicenter study illustrated whole head shape outcomes from three different craniectomy procedures.

We collected a large dataset comprising of textured 3D hand scans. Our hand data were captured during a special exhibition at the Science Museum, London. The capturing apparatus utilized for this task was a 3dMDhand5 system, which is an active stereo photogrammetry software-driven optics-based system, which produces high quality dense meshes.
