“…() calculated the distances between target points before and after registration. Other researchers (Grant et al., ; Previtali et al., ; Yang et al., ) measured the registration quality based on differences between the estimated transformation parameters and benchmarking values. Another two error metrics were based on the root mean square (RMS) values of the residuals of the distances between corresponding pairs of points (Gressin et al., ; Takai et al., ) and the sum of the RMS of the residuals of the distances between points and their corresponding surfaces (Bae, ; Skaloud and Lichti, ; Rabbani et al., ; Chan et al., ).…”
