7. CONCLUSIONS
Close Range Photogrammetry is an effective medical
measurement tool which has a number of advantages over
alternative methods. These include the following:
e The method is non-contact and hence it avoids
distorting, hurting or infecting the patient.
e Results are precise and reliable.
e Data collection is quick, and movement of the patient
is overcome even in dynamic situations.
e A permanent image record is provided which may be
consulted and remeasured at any time in future.
e Recording in wavelength outside the normal visible
range can reveal conditions not apparent otherwise.
In particular, combining the ideas of multi camera
photogrammetry and projective geometry, not only produce
theoretical solutions to the problem of wound measurement but
also lead to robust algorithms that has been practically used in
MEDPHOS.
