Improving post-mortem surface documentation with a CT mounted marker board

Three-dimensional surface documentation of large or complex objects requires accurate dataset transformations to ensure reliability of obtained models. Currently used artificial markers that aid this process are most commonly temporary and generate obstructions. This paper examines a better adapted method, which utilizes a permanent system of coded markers, ensuring transformation of numerous images without obstructions. This easy-to-use, time-saving tool can be utilized in all fields that use photogrammetry or optical surface scanning as daily practice.
