	\|v_x\|	E _x	Range (mm)	σ _x	E _x,10%	σ _x,10%	$R_{x}^{2}$	ICC _x	RMSE _x

In this table, we compare the values automatically extracted from the meshes with our direct measurements. |v_x| is the cardinality of v_x, E_x and E_x,10%are respectively the non-trimmed and trimmed (10% extrema values removed) mean absolute percentage errors, and σ_x and σ_x,10% are respectively the non-trimmed and trimmed standard deviations. $R_{x}^{2}$ is the squared Pearson correlation coefficient, ICC_x is the intraclass correlation coefficient. RMSE_x is the Root Mean Square Error.
