Turn the H1 camera off, then on.
If new capture is still unavailable, restart the
VECTRA software and try again.
3. CAPTURE 3D IMAGES FOR STITCHING
Consistent patient positioning is the most important
aspect of capturing medical images. Follow consistent
methods to ensure consistent patient positioning.
The patient should remain completely still throughout
the 3 image captures.
before positioning the
patient in front of
the VECTRA
• Make sure the tab is selected.
• Remove all jewelry near the area of interest.
• Remove sweat, oils, or anything shiny from the skin.
• Remove all make-up for facial imaging.
• Make sure the patient’s hair and clothing is secured
away from the face, ears and neck.
for best results • For facial images, the patient’s eyes should be open,
gaze fixed straight ahead, not looking up or down,
mouth closed, relaxed facial expression.
• For the right and left views of the face, the camera
should be angled upward toward the patient’s head
to optimize chin and neck detail.
• Capture the images in the specified order: right side,
front, left side.

• Center the target area in the left side of the split
screen in the LCD. Aim the ranging lights toward
the middle of the field of interest at a representative
area of focus (i.e., not at the tip of the nose, since it’s
closer than the rest of the face). The ranging lights
converge into a single green dot when the camera is
at the correct shooting distance (approximately
14 inches/35cm).
• The flashes should recharge as you move into place
for the next capture.
For follow-up images: Review the baseline image
before initiating image capture, to assist in positioning
the patient correctly.
using the H1 camera 1Turn on the ranging lights by pressing the button on
the right of the lens housing (ON glows green).
The ranging lights will automatically turn off after
1 minute of inactivity. Press the button again to restart.
2When the ranging lights
are converged and the
target area is centered in
the left side of the split
screen preview, press the
shutter release to capture
the image.

3. Capture 3D Images for Stitching
THE PATIENT SHOULD REMAIN COMPLETELY STILL THROUGHOUT THE 3 IMAGE CAPTURES.
capture 1: RIGHT side 1Stand at 45 degrees from the direction the patient is
facing (photographer moves left of patient).
2Hold the camera level with the patient’s chest (about
12 inches below the middle of the patient’s face).
3Aim the green dots at the
middle of the patient’s cheek
(intersection of imaginary lines
from the lateral canthus and
the upper lip).
4Converge the green
dots to a single point by
adjusting camera distance
from the patient.

4. STITCHING
After the third image is captured, VECTRA software
automatically processes the images and stitches
them together into a single 3D image. The individual
captures are displayed while they are being processed.
If you wish to interrupt the processing and retake the
images (if, for example, the subject blinked or was in
the wrong position) click discard & retake.
The completed image is displayed in Face Sculptor.

4. Stitching
if auto-stitch fails If VECTRA software is unable to locate the required
facial features, it will display an error message over the
captured images.
First check to see whether all three images were taken
in the specified order: right, front, left. If not, click
discard & retake and capture the images in the
correct order.
If the order is correct, check to see whether the poses
are correct, eyes are open and mouth is closed for all
three images. If not, click discard & retake and
recapture the images.
If images appear to be properly captured, click OK in
the error message to manually identify the landmarks.
1 The location for the first landmark is displayed in
the icon below the first image. Position the tip of the
cursor arrow over the appropriate anatomical location
in the first image as shown, and click once to place the
landmark. As each location is clicked, the icon updates
to highlight the next landmark to be placed. Each of
the 3 captures requires its own set of landmarks.

2 Repeat until each of the requested landmarks has
been placed. If you wish to change the position of a
landmark, position the tip of the cursor arrow over it.
The cursor changes to an open hand when it’s close
enough to the landmark. Click and drag (the cursor
changes to a grabbing hand). Release the mouse
button when the landmark is in the correct position.
3When you are satisfied with the manual landmarks,
click retry stitch. VECTRA software completes the
automatic stitching process and displays the completed
image in Face Sculptor.
