Hey!

My intended use of photogrammetry is probably a lot different to what most people on here would want to use it for: craniometry, and the measure of facial ratios and proportions.

​

Almost all facial ratios and proportions that need to be measured can be taken from a 2D image, either of the front profile or the side profile. Initially, I wanted to find the best way to take front / side profile images while reducing distortion. 2D photos will never give 100% precision for measurements however.

Photogrammetry comes in here: by creating a precise and accurate 3D image of the face, I should be able to take sections from the scan to get accurate images of the side and front profiles?

I wanted to get some advice on what you guys think of my approach, as advise from photography forums have led me here! Do you think this is a better idea than trying to take an accurate as possible 2D photo? And if so, would if suffice to use my iPhone 14 Pro camera and software to create a model of the face which can be measured to provide the exact same measurements are the real face? This is the most important thing, and the most concerning, as usually models are worked on using ZBrush etc. to get rid of bumps etc.

Would appreciate any help!!! :)
