Cephalopoint Measurements

Cephalopoint is an open-source software code programmed on Octave; each code applied vector and matrix operations to measure the Cephalometric traces according to Downs and Steiner's Analysis. Octave was selected as the platform to develop the software because it has a set of commands to convert images, do matrix and vector operations, and plot tools in many ways. Furthermore, it offers the possibility to incorporate routines from other programmers to upgrade the code helping to do image processing to recognize the Cephalometric points or use special statistical libraries.
The following files were used to measure 42 lateral cephalograms of different patients of Dentistry Clinical of UPAEP for each analysis applying manual and software techniques.

Cephalopoint是一款基于Octave编程的开源软件代码；该代码通过向量与矩阵运算，按照Downs和Steiner的分析方法测量头影测量轨迹。Octave被选为开发该软件的平台，因其拥有一系列命令用于图像转换、执行矩阵与向量运算以及多种绘图工具。此外，它还提供了将其他程序员编写的程序融入代码的可能性，以提升代码功能，帮助进行图像处理以识别头影测量点或使用专门的统计库。在每次分析中，均使用了以下文件，以手动和软件技术测量了UPAEP牙科临床42位不同患者的侧位头影测量图。
