Development and Validation of a Semiautomated Tool for Measuring Periorbital Distances.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To validate a custom FIJI (ImageJ) program for more reproducible, faster curvilinear periorbital measurements, as compared with 2 custom artificial intelligence-based tools.

Design

Combined technical validation and method comparison study.

Subjects

Front-facing photographs of 45 cleft palate syndromic patients.

Methods

A FIJI (ImageJ)-based macro script tool, OrbitJ (semiautomated), was developed, requiring 15 user input steps to generate 38 measurements per photo. The user outlines the irises to set image scale and then selects points along the lid margins and brow lines. Linear interpolation and fourth-degree polynomial fit lines were used to generate periorbital measurements. This tool was compared against our previously developed deep learning algor
