Table 2 Optimal distances [mm] for Hofmans’ instrument

Optimised metrics \\\ Displayed metrics	D	\(\sqrt{D^2}\)	\(\sqrt{D^2_{plane}}\)
Point-to-point D	0.301	0.363	0.262
Point-to-point square \(D^2\)	0.302	0.359	0.261
Point-to-plane \(D^2_{plane}\) (ours, with scaling)	0.304	0.362	0.258
Point-to-plane \(D^2_{plane}\) (ICP, external scaling)	0.302	0.363	0.264
Point-to-plane \(D^2_{plane}\) (ICP, no scaling)	0.474	0.796	0.650

Left column: metric with which the optimal parameters were computed. Top row: metric for which we computed distances with the optimised parameters of the left column (point-to-point, point-to-point square and point-to-plane respectively). The bold value in each column indicates the lowest mean distance for each metric
