A Method for Detection and Modeling of the Human Spine Based on Principal Curvatures
نویسندگان
چکیده
The detection and modeling of the human spine from scanned 3D data is an important issue in biomedical shape analysis. It can be useful for avoiding invasive treatments like radiographs, taken for the purpose of monitoring spine deformations and its correction, as is the cases in scoliosis. This is especially important with children. This work presents a new method for the detection of the human spine from 3D models of human backs formed by triangular meshes, and taken with a range sensor. The method is based on the estimation of the principal curvatures directions, and by joining valley points along these directions. Results are presented with the method applied to scanned 3D models of real patients.

systematic review of the characteristics of ultrasound measurements in the evaluation of spinal curvatures in scoliosis patients
Abstract Aims: Scoliosis is one of the secondary complications in amputation veterans, which requires periodic evaluations. The gold standard for evaluating the spine is radiography, which has caused many concerns due to the very high doses of X-ray radiation. For this reason, therapists are finding for an alternative method for this tool, so ultrasound is a non-invasive tool with different me...

A triangular model base on an investigation which has done by Sinha et al. has been developed for evaluating embedded crack localization in beam-column structures. In the assessment of this member’s behavior, the effects of displacement slope are necessary. In order to propose a crack localization method for embedded crack, an efficient static data based indicator is proposed for this crack in ...

Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) by contrast of other networks have more vulnerability because of having nature properties such as dynamic topology and no infrastructure. Therefore, a considerable challenge for these networks, is a method expansion that to be able to specify anomalies with high accuracy at network dynamic topology alternation. In this paper, two methods proposed for dynamic anom...
