The video-to-frames technique proved more
reliable than only photos and burst mode. Their
models show the essence of the shapes in both prints,
also minimize the time for the reconstruction but still
have a few protuberances due to the change of
illumination concerning the angle of the shot and the
limited number of pixels of the images. The method
still could be better if images are taken in other
prepared places where the lighting remains constant
facilitating the reconstruction process and if a
professional camera will be employed to record the
video. Between the data used, exists blurry images
which could be eliminated manually, but exist
algorithms that can do this automatically like Fast
Fourier Transform or Variance of Laplacian which
can help to improve the proposed technique in the
future.
Among main limitations of the study, it is
important to mention that a simple camera has been
used, which may affect precision, although at the
same time its use puts forward the possibility of using
very low-cost hardware and software for promoting
MRE. Regarding future studies, our proposal is to
progress in processes for automated generation of 3D
models, to enhance precision and to employ these and
similar reconstructions, as input for the design of
personalized medical devices, such as splints, insoles,
braces and multiple orthoses.
