RESUMO

Projection mapping with inexpensive hardware often suffers from calibration errors that lead to visually compromised results. In this paper, we classify common errors that lead to typical visual artifacts. Based on this classification, we present the first content-aware brightness solver. It is tailored for high GPU performance, yet efficiently hides the most common calibration artifacts. Moreover, it is specifically designed to handle both single and larger networked projection mapping setups with minimal latency.

RESUMO

Fitness and lifestyle trackers raise the awareness for wearable sensors in medical applications for clinical trials and healthcare. Various functional impairments of patients with neurological diseases are an ideal target to generate wearable-derived and patient-centered parameters that have the potential to support prevention, prediction, diagnostic procedures and therapy monitoring during the clinical work-up; however, substantial differences between clinical grade wearables and fitness trackers have to be acknowledged. For the application in clinical trials or individualized patient care distinct technical and clinical validation trials have to be conducted. The different test environments under laboratory conditions during standardized tests or under unsupervised home monitoring conditions have to be included in the algorithmic processing of sensor raw data in order to enable a clinical decision support under real-life conditions. This article presents the general understanding of the technical application for the most relevant functional impairments in neurology. While wearables used for sleep assessment have already reached a high level of technological readiness due to the defined test environment (bed, sleep), other wearable applications, e.g. for gait and mobility during home monitoring require further research in order to transfer the technical capabilities into real-life patient care.

RESUMO

The quality of every dynamic multi-projection mapping system is limited by the quality of the projector to tracking device calibration. Common problems with poor calibration result in noticeable artifacts for the user, such as ghosting and seams. In this work we introduce a new, fully automated calibration algorithm that is tailored to reduce these artifacts, based on consumer-grade hardware. We achieve this goal by repurposing a structured-light scanning setup. A structured-light scanner can generate 3D geometry based on a known intrinsic and extrinsic calibration of its components (projector and RGB camera). We revert this process by providing the resulting 3D model to determine the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of our setup (including those of a variety of tracking systems). Our system matches features and solves for all parameters in a single pass while respecting the lower quality of our sensory input.

RESUMO

Recent publications and art performances demonstrate amazing results using projection mapping. To our knowledge, there exists no multi-projection system that can project onto non-rigid target geometries. This constrains the applicability and quality for live performances with multiple spectators. Given the cost and complexity of current systems, we present a low-cost easy-to-use markerless non-rigid face multi-projection system. It is based on a non-rigid, dense face tracker and a real-time multi-projection solver adapted to imprecise tracking, geometry and calibration. Using this novel system we produce compelling results with only consumer-grade hardware.

RESUMO

Dedicated visualization methods are among the most important tools of modern computer-aided medical applications. Reformation methods such as Multiplanar Reformation or Curved Planar Reformation have evolved as useful tools that facilitate diagnostic and therapeutic work. In this paper, we present a novel approach that can be seen as a generalization of Multiplanar Reformation to curved surfaces. The main concept is to generate reformatted medical volumes driven by the individual anatomical geometry of a specific patient. This process generates flat views of anatomical structures that facilitate many tasks such as diagnosis, navigation and annotation. Our reformation framework is based on a non-linear as-rigid-as-possible volumetric deformation scheme that uses generic triangular surface meshes as input. To manage inevitable distortions during reformation, we introduce importance maps which allow controlling the error distribution and improving the overall visual quality in areas of elevated interest. Our method seamlessly integrates with well-established concepts such as the slice-based inspection of medical datasets and we believe it can improve the overall efficiency of many medical workflows. To demonstrate this, we additionally present an integrated visualization system and discuss several use cases that substantiate its benefits.

RESUMO

The precise modeling of vascular structures plays a key role in medical imaging applications, such as diagnosis, therapy planning and blood flow simulations. For the simulation of blood flow in particular, high-precision models are required to produce accurate results. It is thus common practice to perform extensive manual data polishing on vascular segmentations prior to simulation. This usually involves a complex tool chain which is highly impractical for clinical on-site application. To close this gap in current blood flow simulation pipelines, we present a novel technique for interactive vascular modeling which is based on implicit sweep surfaces. Our method is able to generate and correct smooth high-quality models based on geometric centerline descriptions on the fly. It supports complex vascular free-form contours and consequently allows for an accurate and fast modeling of pathological structures such as aneurysms or stenoses. We extend the concept of implicit sweep surfaces to achieve increased robustness and applicability as required in the medical field. We finally compare our method to existing techniques and provide case studies that confirm its contribution to current simulation pipelines.

RESUMO

Hardware tessellation is one of the latest GPU features. Triangle or quad meshes are tessellated on-the-fly, where the tessellation level is chosen adaptively in a separate shader. The hardware tessellator only generates topology; attributes such as positions or texture coordinates of the newly generated vertices are determined in a domain shader. Typical applications of hardware tessellation are view dependent tessellation of parametric surfaces and displacement mapping. Often, the attributes for the newly generated vertices are stored in textures, which requires uv unwrapping, chartification, and atlas generation of the input mesh--a process that is time consuming and often requires manual intervention. In this paper, we present an alternative representation that directly stores optimized attribute values for typical hardware tessellation patterns and simply assigns these attributes to the generated vertices at render time. Using a multilevel fitting approach, the attribute values are optimized for several resolutions. Thereby, we require no parameterization, save memory by adapting the density of the samples to the content, and avoid discontinuities by construction. Our representation is optimally suited for displacement mapping: it automatically generates seamless, view-dependent displacement mapped models. The multilevel fitting approach generates better low-resolution displacement maps than simple downfiltering. By properly blending levels, we avoid artifacts such as popping or swimming surfaces. We also show other possible applications such as signal-optimized texturing or light baking. Our representation can be evaluated in a pixel shader, resulting in signal adaptive, parameterization-free texturing, comparable to PTex or Mesh Colors. Performance evaluation shows that our representation is on par with standard texture mapping and can be updated in real time, allowing for application such as interactive sculpting.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To compare individually prefabricated computer-assisted designed/computer-assisted manufactured (CAD/CAM) glass-bioceramic implants with nonpreformed titanium meshes for orbital floor reconstruction in secondary correction of enophthalmos. METHODS: In a nonrandomized, comparative, prospective cohort study, 2 groups of 10 patients received secondary correction of enophthalmos with CAD/CAM implants in one group and titanium meshes in the other. Relative enophthalmometry and exophthalmometry data were assessed preoperatively, at the end of the operation, at day 90 postoperatively, and at day 365 postoperatively. RESULTS: In both groups, the globe position improved significantly at the end of the operation (P = .005 in both groups). At day 90, there was a significant tendency toward relapse of enophthalmos in both groups (P = .005 in the CAD/CAM group and P = .008 in the titanium mesh group). However, the globe position did not change significantly between postoperative days 90 and 365 in both groups (P = .57 in the CAD/CAM group and P = .35 in the titanium mesh group). CONCLUSIONS: Individually prefabricated CAD/CAM glass-bioceramic implants and nonpreformed titanium meshes produce similar results in secondary enophthalmos correction. Because of higher costs, the use of CAD/CAM implants should be confined to selected cases in secondary enophthalmos correction.

RESUMO

AIM: It has been the objective of the present prospective study to assess visible volume changes of the facial soft tissue after LeFort I osteotomy with advancement and to determine the soft-tissue-to-hard-tissue ratios of advancement. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty adult patients (ten female, ten male, mean age 33.9 +/- 14.9 years) received a LeFort I osteotomy with advancement because of a maxillary protrusion. Lateral skull radiographs and optical three-dimensional (3D) scans of the facial surface were assessed preoperatively and 12 months after surgery. The lateral skull radiographs were used to carry out standard linear and angular cephalometric measurements. The pre- and postoperative optical 3D surface scans were registered. A well-defined area in the malar region was used to determine the visible volume changes for each side separately. The mean accommodation vector that transforms the preoperative into the postoperative surface was assessed for each facial half separately. The soft-tissue-to-hard-tissue ratios between the incision superius and the labrale superius, the maximal parasagittal advancement of soft tissue, and the accommodation vectors were calculated. RESULTS: A mean advancement of the incision superius of 5.3 +/- 2.1 mm was accompanied by a volume increase of 5.2 +/- 4.1 cm(3) in the right malar-midfacial region and 4.6 +/- 4.7 cm(3) on the left side, respectively, revealing a symmetrical volume change (p = 0.370). The soft-tissue-to-hard-tissue ratios were 80 +/- 94% for labrale superius and incision superius, 56 +/- 79% (right) and 51 +/- 56% (left) for accommodation vector and incision superius and 97 +/- 79% (right) and 98 +/- 89% (left) for maximal parasagittal advancement of soft tissue and incision superius. DISCUSSION: The determination of volume changes and accompanying accommodation vectors complete the cephalometric analysis during the follow-up of patients undergoing LeFort I osteotomy. The data show that maxillary advancement leads to a more pronounced shifting of the soft tissues in the malar-midfacial area than of the upper lip. The new parameters will help to assess normative soft tissue data based on 3D imaging with a view to an improved three-dimensional prediction of the operative outcome of orthognathic surgery away from the midline.
