Statistical Shape and Pose Model of the Forearm for Custom Splint Design

Custom splint design is becoming more common. However, poor 3D scan quality can negatively impact the design accuracy. This paper describes a method to build a 3D statistical shape and pose model of the forearm from 3dMD scans. The model is used to assist the registration of previously unseen forear...

Description
Summary:Custom splint design is becoming more common. However, poor 3D scan quality can negatively impact the design accuracy. This paper describes a method to build a 3D statistical shape and pose model of the forearm from 3dMD scans. The model is used to assist the registration of previously unseen forearms in a wide range of poses. We show that this model-based surface registration results in a good geometric fit, with accurate anatomical correspondences. This method could be used to upgrade low-resolution scans using a high-resolution model.
