ab: Summary: Digital scanners are commonplace and are used in many different
    applications to obtain three-dimensional shapes and linear and
    circumferential measurements. Even though scanners can be highly
    accurate, measurements obtained from scanners can vary depending on how
    an object is scanned, aligned and processed. In this study, we examined
    the effect of three different alignment methods of foot scans and their
    effects on ten different measurements. Variations among methods in
    capturing foot length are relatively small relative to arch length. The
    foot girths can be quite sensitive to the registration process
    depending on the complexity of the algorithms used. As expected, linear
    and girth measurements based on anatomical landmarks will always be
    independent of any registration process and are thus good ways to
    obtain repeatable measurements.
