PREOPERATIVE PLANNING AND ASSOCIATED INTRAOPERATIVE REGISTRATION FOR A SURGICAL SYSTEM
Aspects of the disclosure may involve a method of generating resection plane data for use in planning an arthroplasty procedure on a patient bone. The method may include: obtaining patient data associated with at least a portion of the patient bone, the patient data captured using a medical imaging machine; generating a three-dimensional patient bone model from the patient data, the patient bone model including a polygonal surface mesh; identifying a location of a posterior point on the polygonal surface mesh; creating a three-dimensional shape centered at or near the location; identifying a most posterior vertex of all vertices of the polygonal surface mesh that may be enclosed by the three-dimensional shape; using the most posterior vertex as a factor for determining a posterior resection depth; and generating resection data using the posterior resection depth, the resection data configured to be utilized by a navigation system during the arthroplasty procedure.
Depth sensing method, device and system based on symbols array plane structured light
The present invention discloses a depth sensing method, device and system based on symbols array plane structured light. The coded symbols array pattern is projected by the laser pattern projector to the target object or space, and the image sensor collects and obtains the successive sequence of the encoded image of the input symbols. Firstly, the input image encoded with the symbols is decoded. The decoding process includes preprocessing, symbols location, symbols recognition and symbols correction. Secondly, the disparity of the decoded symbols are calculated by the symbols match calculation between the decoded image of the input symbols with completed symbols recognition and the decoded image of the reference symbols with the known distance. Finally the depth calculation formula is combined to generate depth point cloud information of the target object or projection space that is represented in the form of grid. The present invention can quickly obtain high-resolution and high-precision depth information of the target object or projection space in dynamic scenes, which facilitates the porting or insertion as a module into the intelligent device for 3D modeling, 3D mapping, etc.
APPARATUS FOR ADJUSTING FOOT STRUCTURES, FOR DESIGN OF A FOOT ORTHOTIC, AND METHODS OF USE
An apparatus comprised of a plurality of engagement structures independently movable along a longitudinal axis to initially engage a mid-foot region of a foot is described. A center structure or a first set of engagement structures engage the foot in a mid-foot region, and one or more peripheral engagement structures engage the plantar surface in regions surrounding the mid-foot region independent from the structure(s) engaging the mid-foot region. Positional information about the engagement structures is obtained, and a surface map from the positional information is constructed, to determine a profile or contour for an orthotic device in which the foot is in a restored bone state.
